yes it does. The can says let it sit for a hour before handling but can be handled after 3 hours. I let it sit for about 2 hours and it was ok. best thing to do is paint it and place it someplace hot so the paint cures faster. You can probably take a heat gun to it but do it from a distance so it doesnt push the paint around if you laid a heavy coat.

^^^ +1. Me and a friend painted my calipers, we went to the gym for about an hour and a half, went back and the paint was fine. I left the car outdoors in the sun though.

Purple will look good too, if it wasn't so close to the blue/black of my car I'd consider it too. Plus I'm a huge Broncos fan!

I did 3 coats of the paint. You do 2 light coats then do a medium wet coat and then let it sit for 30-45 mins then you can put the clear coat on if you are planning on putting a clear coat on.
I got people rocking the purple calipers lol
I like to go against the grain and usually people are skeptical at first but I get them to change their minds once its done
except for XHALE dammmnnn you loooool
