Description
This Brake Caliper Paint Kit includes everything you need to paint your brake calipers Phantom Red. From the primer, basecoat, and topcoats to the optional prep and masking materials – each item has been specially put together for you in one all-inclusive bundle. You simply choose the desired color, project type, finish (Matte, Satin or Gloss), and optional add-ons. Then we handle the rest. Doesn’t get easier than this!
About this color: is an epic Alpha Custom Color with the best aspects of the 3 best paint types.. Pearl, candy, and traditional Basecoat! Great coverage but with the look of a candy 🔥
Details About This Kit: This is for good condition brake calipers only. You will need high build primer in addition to this kit if you are refinishing damaged, pitted, or corroded calipers.
This is only to be used over properly prepped painted, powder coated, or bare metal calipers. NOT CHROME.
*Spraying over chrome can cause poor adhesion. Some customers have good luck with sand blasting the chrome then using adhesion promoter, but do this at your our risk*
Steps to using the kit:
Wash your calipers thoroughly to remove brake dust and road grime. We recommend using Brake Dust Pro + a scrubber mitt.
Dry your calipers completely and wipe down with wax & grease remover.
Scuff the entire surface you plan to paint with the included scuff pad with paste until the finish is flat and fully abraded.
Rinse with warm water and dry the calipers using a clean rag and compressed air.
Mask off any areas around the calipers you do not want painted, including rotors, brake lines, and hardware. Avoid letting masking tape bridge onto the caliper surfaces.
Wipe down the calipers again with a clean microfiber and the included wax & grease remover.
Shake the primer cans according to the label. Spray 1 light coat, wait 5 minutes, then spray 1 medium wet coat on each caliper.
Wait 1 hour after primer is fully dry to the touch.
Shake basecoat cans according to the label. Then spray 2–4 basecoats on the calipers (waiting 10 minutes or until flashed between coats) until full color and effect is achieved.
Wait 30 minutes after basecoat is fully dry to the touch.
Spray 2–4 wet coats of clearcoat, waiting 10 minutes or until fingerprinting stage (lightly tacky) between coats.
Unmask after a minimum of 30 minutes.
Let dry 8 hours before handling.
✔ Includes all materials needed to paint your brake calipers

✔ Step by step video guides available

Application & Prep
STEP 1 – CLEAN THE SURFACE
1 - Wash with soap and water, rinse, and dry completely.
2 - Degrease using wax and grease remover or isopropyl alcohol.
3 - Wipe dry with a clean, lint-free towel.
STEP 2 – SCUFF / SAND FOR ADHESION
If Raw Plastic / Polyurethane: Evenly scuff bare plastic or raw surfaces. These will also need to be adhesion promoted prior to paint using our WolfBite Adhesion promoter.
If Good Condition OEM Paint: Sand smooth or glossy paint with P320-P400 grit sand paper or Scuff Pad until uniformly dull with no glossy areas.
If Surface Needs Bodywork or heavy scratches removed: Sand the damaged areas with 180 grit (feathered out into the panel) then do your bodywork. Finish in 220 Grit sanding. Then spot prime with high build primer - fading the primer out into the rest of the sanded panel covering the bodywork and any 220 grit scratches. (the good condition areas of the panel should have been sanded in 320-400 or scuff pad). Lastly, after the high build primer is dry and ready to be sanded (check tds for timeline), sand with 320-400 to match the rest of the panel.
After The above prep: Remove dust with compressed air or a clean microfiber towel.
STEP 3 – FINAL WIPE & TACK
1 - Wipe the surface again with isopropyl alcohol or wax and grease remover.
2 - Allow solvents to fully evaporate.
3 - Lightly wipe with a tack cloth immediately before spraying. Do not press hard. (optional but great step)
STEP 4 – SET UP YOUR SPRAY AREA
1 - Use a well-ventilated, well-lit area with good extraction fans
2 - Ideal conditions are 65–75°F (18–24°C) with 40–60% relative humidity.
3 - Keep the area free of open flames, sparks, or ignition sources.
4 - Wet the floor if your space allows to keep dust down
5 - Cover any items or areas in your space that you do not want to get overspray on
STEP 5 – PERSONAL PROTECTION
1 - Wear a respirator rated for organic or solvent vapors.
2 - Use nitrile gloves and safety goggles.
3 - Wear a paint suit
STEP 6 – SHAKE THE CAN
1 - Shake vigorously for 45–60 seconds.
2 - Invert the can several times while shaking to fully mix pigments and metallics.
STEP 7 – TEST SPRAY
ALWAYS DO A TEST SPRAY + SPRAY OUT CARD IF DOING OEM SPOT JOBS
1 - Spray on cardboard or a scrap panel.
2 - Confirm even spray pattern, correct color, and proper atomization.
3 - Adjust the spray can's nozzle to match your spray style or surface.
4 - If the can is not operating correctly, remove the cap completely, reseat it on the can, and twise the entire nozzle 360 degrees. Since our cans are made to order, sometimes there is slight paint build up and reseating the nozzle corrects this.
STEP 8 – SPRAYING TECHNIQUE
1 - Hold the can 5–6 inches from the surface.
2 - Keep the can perpendicular, 90 degrees to the panel at all times.
3 - Move at a steady speed using smooth, even passes. You are looking for medium wet coats NOT super wet, pooling coats.
4 - Overlap each pass by 50 percent.
STEP 9 – TRIGGER CONTROL
1 - Begin moving before pulling the trigger. Start off of the panel then move onto the panel. This avoids build up on edges.
2 - Fully depress the trigger while spraying.
3 - Release the trigger completely at the end of each pass.
4 - Stop spraying after clearing the panel edge by an inch.
STEP 10 – COATS & FLASH TIMES
1k Primer/Sealer
1 - Spray a medium wet coat on the entire panel (if not blending oem paint) to achieve a 75% coverage. This fills in the sanding scratches as well as gives a uniform , required ground coat color for the next steps.
2- Allow to flash dry for 5-15 minutes. Time depends on the product and environment.
3 - Apply the second medium-wet coat to achieve full coverage
4 - Allow to dry for 30 minutes or until the wet look fades so a dull, even finish and is completely dry to the touch.
GROUNDCOATS or SOLID COLORS (BEFORE MIDCOATS IF APPLICABLE)
This is for our Base Black, OEM Undercoats or solid colored basecoats. Not all projects require this step.
1 - Apply the first medium-wet coat at approximately 75 percent coverage.
2 - Allow to flash 5-15 minutes or until the wet look fades so a dull, even finish. Time depends on the product and environment.
3 - Apply the second medium-wet coat to achieve full coverage
4 - Allow to flash 5-15 minutes or until the wet look fades so a dull, even finish. Time depends on the product and environment.
5 - Apply a Third medium wet coat if the color is not 100% covered and even at this point. This will vary based on the color and product being sprayed.
4 - Flash another 15-30 minutes. Until the surface is even, dull, an dry to the touch.
MIDCOAT , CUSTOM COLORS , OR METALLIC/ PEARL OEM
This is for coverage over required groundcoats , not "ghost effect"
1 - Apply medium coats over the required groundcoat for your color.
2 - Flash 5–15 minutes between coats or until tack-free.
3 - Apply additional coats until the desired color depth is achieved. Most custom and oem colors require 2-4 medium coats - check color description or compare to existing oem panels
4 - Apply 1 light "control" coat to make sure all of the pearl or metallic is even and not splotchy or "tiger striped"
5 - Wait 30 mins or 15 mins after the surface is completely dull and dry to the touch before moving on to topcoat step.
EFFECT PEARL / COLORSHIFT COAT
This is for effect over light groundcoats (not for coverage)
1 - Apply one light effect coat at approximately 25 percent coverage.
2 - Allow 5-15mins for the coat to flash before adding another light coat (if you want to add more effect)
Repeat as many times to your preference of effect and coverage.
3 - Wait 30 mins or 15 mins after the surface is completely dull and dry to the touch before moving on to topcoat step.
STEP 11 – CLEANUP & STORAGE
CAP CLEARING
1 - Turn the can upside down after spraying.
2 - Spray until only clear propellant comes out.
3 - This clears paint from the valve and prevents clogging.
NOZZLE CARE
1 - Remove the spray nozzle after use.
2 - Wipe clean with solvent.
3 - Do not soak the nozzle in solvent.
STORAGE
1 - Store cans upright in a cool, dry place.
2 - Keep away from direct sunlight.
3 - Avoid freezing conditions.
4 - Do not store above 120°F (49°C).
QUICK TROUBLESHOOTING
1 - Dry or rough texture means the can is too far away or moving too fast.
2 - Runs or sags mean the can is too close or moving too slowly.
3 - Continue to shake and agitate the can between coats- Repeat step 6
4 - If ever unsure the color is 100% covered (and you are going for coverage) - one extra coat is always a good idea.

Paint Kit FAQ
How soon does my kit ship?
Every kit is mixed fresh when you order, so most ship within a few business days — and you'll get tracking the moment it's on the way.
Do I need a spray gun or compressor?
No — these kits are built around aerosol spray cans, so you get pro 2K automotive results with nothing extra to buy, rent, or clean up.
Do I need to buy clearcoat separately?
No — the matching clearcoat is already in the kit, along with the prep and masking supplies. Everything you need is in one box.
What surface prep do I need to do?
A clean, scuffed, and masked surface is the key to a great finish. Your kit includes the masking supplies, and our step-by-step guides walk you through the prep.
Can I reorder to match later?
Yes. We mix to the color code and save custom formulas, so you can order a matching kit or a touch-up down the road.
What if I can't find my color?
Use the “Not finding your color?” button and a real painter will help track it down or build a custom match for you.

So many people love it. The color flop is so crazy. I've got a little shop. Im opening up in a few weeks would love to represent your product at my shop
Store owner replied:
Thank you for the feedback, David. Wow, that looks amazing! The Phantom Red really suits the motorcycle. Great job on the finish! Congratulations on opening your shop. We truly appreciate your interest in representing our products. We’d love for you to join our B2B program. You can find more details here: https://tssprofessionals.com/pages/b2b-sign-up 🤝
Great product! Sprays excellent and the packing when shipped was done well.
Store owner replied:
Thank you for the feedback, Jon! We are glad to hear you're so pleased with your Phantom Red Paint Basecoat! It’s wonderful to know that both the product's performance and our careful shipping met your expectations. Your project looks amazing!
Absolutely love the Phantom Red color! I've painted a few cars using Alpha paint from TSS and each one has come out great. The color matching for OEM colors is also near perfect and way better than any local paint shop I've seen. The only things I don't like about TSS is the cheat sheet that you get with the paint kits will not get you the best results (I'm mainly referring to the spray distance and PSI specifications on the sheet). Also when building a paint kit, the website will charge you for 3-4 times the amount of paint you need for a job. This isn't a big concern because I know how much paint I need most of the time but it does take time to adjust the sizes and quantities for what it takes to paint just one car. However, the paint is still incredible quality for the price and I have become a loyal customer to it. I would recomend it to anyone looking to paint!
Store owner replied:
Thank you for the feedback, William! The Phantom Red looks absolutely stunning, and we're honored to be part of your projects. We truly appreciate your feedback and your continued support!
My rig, using mostly Spray Source products to restore it. It’s only 90% complete at this point as I’m waiting on some vinyl lettering and some hardware to complete the project but the paint work is done and it looks better than it did brand new before they began customizing it.
Store owner replied:
Thanks so much for the amazing feedback, Todd! That looks amazing—thank you for sharing the video! We’re thrilled to see the results using Phantom Red, and it’s incredible to hear that the finish turned out even better than when the rig was brand new. It’s already looking impressive, and we can’t wait to see the final touches once the vinyl lettering and hardware are completed. We really appreciate you choosing Spray Source for your build and sharing the progress with us! 🙌
Definitely love the samples.. the curves of the samples in the sun helps you see how things will look on vehicles..
Store owner replied:
Thank you for the feedback, Paul. So glad you’re loving the samples! You’re absolutely right—the curves really show how Phantom Red shifts and pops in the light. We truly appreciate your support! 🤝
Great product and easy to spray! Turned out exactly how i wanted it to!

Great company. Tommy and the crew are amazing, helpful. There to answer questions helped me get a sample of the phantom and the Killshot. Which should be arriving soon.
Store owner replied:
Thank you for the feedback, Matt! We’re glad the owner and the team could help answer your questions and get samples of the Phantom and Killshot headed your way. We can’t wait for you to see them! We appreciate your support. 🤝
The dark color is over a black base and the red is over a light gold base. Both really pop in sun!
Store owner replied:
Thank you for the feedback, Mike! Those turned out great! Applying the color over a light gold base really makes it pop in the sun. For our standard recommendation, we suggest spraying Phantom Red over a black base to achieve its intended depth and richness, but it’s always great to see creative variations like this. Great work! 🙌🙌🙌
Store owner replied:
Thank you for your feedback, James! We’re glad to hear you’re happy with the Phantom Red basecoat! It’s great to know the color, coverage, and flow met your expectations. Amazing work! 🙌🙌🙌
This paint is beautiful. I painted this frame with the spray cans. It turned out amazing
Store owner replied:
Thank you for the feedback and for sharing your results, Todd! The frame looks incredible! We’re glad to hear that you’re happy with how the Phantom Red turned out, especially using spray cans. The finish looks deep and vibrant. Awesome work! 🙌🙌🙌

Thank you for the feedack, Michael! We’re glad to hear you’re enjoying the Phantom Red Basecoat. Your project is looking fantastic and we’re excited to see how it all comes together! 🤝
Sprayed really nice and even, 4 coats minimum is a good recommendation. Love how it looks black out of of direct light, then the sun takes over and it come alive.
Store owner replied:
Thank you for the great feedback, Kim! We’re happy to hear your experience with the Phantom Red went so well! The way you described it, deep and sleek in the shade, then coming alive in the sun is exactly the magic of that color. Four coats really do bring out the best in it, and your bike project turned out fantastic in the photos you shared. 🔥🙌
Beautiful color, this would look good on most anything!
Store owner replied:
Thank you for the feedback, Lester! It’s one of those colors that turns heads no matter what it’s on. We’d be excited to see it on your project someday! 🤝
Amazing red to black flop. Exactly what I was looking for!
This paint is UNREAL!!! The true color shifting and candy effect with the straight forward spraying of a base coat makes it a no brainer and I literally can’t stop staring at it!! It literally shifts to probably 10 different colors depending on angle and lighting. It is 1000 times better than I imagined and seriously one of the coolest colors I’ve ever seen!
Store owner replied:
Wow—thank you so much for the incredible feedback, Lucas! We’re beyond excited that the color exceeded your expectations, and those photos you shared are absolutely stunning. You really brought it to life! Thanks again for the support! 🤝
Close enough color to repaint my HD that I painted in 1988. Base coat will make it a lot easier to paint compared to pearl coats and candy toners.
Store owner replied:
Thank you for the feedback and for sharing the comparison photo, Bill! We’re glad to hear Phantom Red is a close match to your original 1988 HD paint. We’re excited to see how the project turns out—please keep us posted! 🤝
Love this color highly recommended if you love the color red
Store owner replied:
Thanks so much! Totally agree—if you’re into red, this one’s a must-have!
Sample showed up on a timely manner and has a free return label so I can ship it back and get a little in store credit for it! Great looking color! Will be ordering this in a kit to spray my 87 short bed Chevy!
Store owner replied:

Like the color just to dark for what I'm looking for
Store owner replied:
Thank you for the feedback, Darren! We’re glad you liked the Phantom Red, even if it ended up being a little darker than what you were looking for. Lighting can play a huge role in how a color appears, so we’re happy you had the chance to see the color in person before committing to it. We hope it helps you find the perfect shade for your project!
We all love the collor and can't wait to see it on my 99 cobra.
