  • How to Paint Brake Calipers - Like from the FACTORY
    Use only heat-resistant paint! After heating, the paint becomes much stronger. Rust will not appear for many years.

    This is the proper way to do this. Complete disassembly, thorough cleaning of the components, correct masking of contact surfaces, then high heat paint applied and cured. Agree with those who say to chase the threads to prevent galling upon reassembly, and possibly honing the piston bore if needed. Overall, very well done.

    Good Video :) I always apply high temp ceramic grease on inside threads to stop steel bleeding nipples sizing up. And use ATE assembly lube on seals and pistons itself.
    Also if u want them to last lot longer than zinc plating is best rust prevention and than powder coating or Epoxy primer and spray it.

      I know most BMWs have this style and the service manual specifically states to clean the guide pins but so not lubricate. Due to the pins potentially being open to the elements, any lubricant could attract foreign contaminants.
      Sealed systems such as Kia and others are within the metal caliper bracket and need to be lubricated.

  • @jackwade793
    @jackwade793 16 днів тому

    The acid does trash threads. Try it by putting a bolt and a nut in vinegar and see how loose the connection gets. I have done this.
    If you were able to seal the threads well with some plastic fittings and maybe Teflon tape to seal them. It would work.
    The piston housing itself doesn’t really see the piston. They don’t come into contact with the walls of the housing. Still. I would seal the piston hole off while using the …..vinegar or citric acid. I would not want that bore to be ate down by the acid.
    The acid when washed off. Creates immediate flash rust. Yours were very clean. I don’t know how you achieved this.
    I have achieved this by washing the metal off and immediately putting them in oil. Giving it no time to rust. Then I have to clean it again with solvent.
    The zinc primer is not bad. It has anti rust capability.
    Is this worth the time? Not really. You can buy the parts for not too bad. However. You can buy a rebuild kit for $5 and never do any of this at all. Just keep them rusted. The factory doesn’t coat them on many cars. They just rust. Newer cars coat them.
    I have done all of this several times and am about to again. I might go through the trouble of de rusting. Only because I’m doing several calipers at once.
    The paint is just high temp caliper pain and it does have to be baked on.
    Powdercoating is better😊
