starkmaster03 Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 I know brake fluid will eat away at paint but will it eat away at powder coating on calipers if it sits on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattsv8 Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Wilwood has a dot 5 that's paint safe. So I'm shure its good for powdercoating. They don't recomend it for racing not shure why though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patterson Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 It will eat it up if its not cleaned regularly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starkmaster03 Posted August 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Thanks, i just bought some and have to get them back home but they were leaking brake fluid on the caliper when i got the. I was just curios how bad it was on powder coating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGGU Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Dot 5 shouldnt be used on newer modern cars. Dot 5 is a silicone based fluid for old cars that have issues with rusty brake lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
