Default ATE gold type 200?

I bleed my brakes this weekend and two cans of ATE gold wasn't quite enough to get all the super blue out. Does anyone have an unopened can of gold (type 200) or know where I can pick up in MD? I am going to the Dragon this weekend so would like to get some before thursday for my piece of mind.

Thanks!

I get what you are trying to do, Jim but you should know that blue and gold are EXACTLY the same stuff. The color is literally the only difference. It will be okay if you don't get 100% of the blue out.

Btw, the color won't completely change, but you will notice a difference. It's similiar to root beer on tap. It stains the lines and no other flavor can be used after root beer... you have to change the hoses.

the blue has so much dye in it that it makes everything blue. Its just residual dye that is turning it blue, not left over fluid. Believe me, I go to the track and never flush with 2 bottles! You are 100% fine!!

but if you want to get some the closest place I can think is og racing (kinda far) but youd be surpriced that little speed shops usually have it too.

That is a great analogy... except none of us really deal with root beer dispensing machines!!!
