This is more a rant than anything else.
I bought some blue brake caliper paint from Ecklers and when I get it I find out the recommended temperature for painting is 56-70 F. That is a 14 degree window and it is the middle of summer. Hell, it is above 70 before the sun comes up! Then, reading the instructions again it only has a 6 month shelf life. I think I have had it for 2-3 months right now, so hopefully in the next 3 months or so the temperature drops so I can paint my brakes.
It would have been nice if this had been included in the description of the paint so I could have timed the purchase better with the weather.
Anyway, I wonder if the 56-70 degrees is the ambient air temperature or the temperature of the calipers themselves?
