Default brake calipers

i painted my brake calipers with duplicolor today, after painting i happen to see on the can, it says apply in conditions 60-100. was just above 60, but right now i think its 40. was told this will mess up the paint but i dont see how since it had a good 7 hours in the 60's.

and is 24 hours enough time for the paint to cure and everything?

It should still cure, just do a touch test on the bottom to see how it does.

Those directions are just a general rule of thumb i think. Do like he says and do the touch test. Put them in the sun and they will dry!!!!!

they passed the touch test 5 mins after my final coat of paint lol. i let the paint set for about, 21 hours till i drove again. they look great. hope i dont have to worry as much about the paint fade since i used black.
