Brake Fluid on Paintwork

[simbasupra]

I think i allready know the answer to this question but would like confirmation from some of you lot.

 

Whilst replacing the seals in my calipers, brake fluid has got on the paintwork of the brake calipers and i have now got white patches. They go away a bit when they get wet however return when dry.

 

Is there anything apart from respraying i can do?

No is the answer. Brake fluid is highly corrosive so you'll need a repaint

I got a bit on my exerior paintwork and rubbed it off with a cloth, I noticed it made the paint seem in better condition, i.e had been polished etc.

 

I thought about this, knowing it corodes paint, so decided to use it all over my Astra for a laugh I used a cloth on my old astra with some 5.1

 

I was amazed, my 10 year old astra now looks like its had a respray.

 

Wouldnt recommend trying it though unless you do it quick

That's what i thought, looks like the front of the caliper's (the bit with the supra writing on) may be ok, so all i will have to do is paint the rest and then laquer the whole lot.

 

If not i will have to start again and buy new decals:(

 

Thanks
