It should be on the brake calliper paint instructions.

Hi, not to sure, it was bought of e-bay. Have used this paint quite a few times and I find it to be very good, I apply it with a brush being careful not to get it where it where it doesn't belong. I have done this on lots of occasions but not at this time of year.
Many Thanks.

I can't see it being a problem when temps are above 8 - 10 deg C. Do it early morning so it has all day to dry. Nothing wrong with a gentle waft from a warm hairdrier to help things along

If you take the car for a drive to warm up the brake callipers first which will help to evaporate any moisture and aid drying which is what I did.
