Brake fluid on paint...
How damaging is it really? I heard it'll eat way your paint, but say if you spill a few drops will it start stripping the paint right away or does it need to sit a while? Can it also penetrate the clear coat? I plan on changing the fluid over winter but having never done it myself I'd rather not risk ****ing up my paint...

Put rags around the painted parts or just remove them. Keep a spray bottle with soap water on hand. If you drip on a painted surface just wipe it up. Waxing the bike before is also a good idea.
It is very important to change brake fluid. It absorbs water from the air. The moisture will eat brake parts. But the moisture will boil at 212 deg and brakes hit 1000 deg in normal use. This will affect the breaking. If the brake fluid sits on paint it will mostly leave a shadow water type mark. It takes a while to eat the paint.

Rinse it off as soon as it gets on the paint & it shouldn't do any noticeable damage, rubbing it will make it worse.

Don't wipe the fluid off if you get some on there. Spray it down with water and dab at the area. Wiping it will just spread it.

If it touches the paint you have exactly 10 seconds to get it off. Get the garden hose and start spraying away!!! And if you get any on your hand, well... you are already out of time. Your hand is going to start dissolving.
You are over-thinking everything. Just get a towel and toss it over the tank/fairing. Problem solved. It's not a messy job if you know what your doing. |
