BEST RESULT!! How To Paint Brake Calipers
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 сер 2019
- In this video, I will show you how to properly paint the paint calipers on your vehicle. Follow the steps I show you and you will get the same excellent result.
HOW MANY CANS OF PAINT I USED TO PAINT ALL 4 CALIPERS??
As to quantity of paint I used, I ended up using 1.5 (2) cans of the burnt copper base paint, and 1 can of primer, and 1 can of clear. The reason for the 2 cans of base paint maybe to do I with one of the caliper got messed up with the sticker, so I had to repaint it. Otherwise I think one can of each should be good.
As for how much time to do this project. The drying time between coat is what takes up most of the time. Also depending on the ambient temperature and humidity, that will effect drying time. But if you are doing one side at time like I did, and the number of coats as shown in the video, expect about 6 hours time.

Just some tips I want to share as a cars/aircraft painter.. I would prefer masking with paper instead of bags. Over spray on the bags causes flakes. When you remove the bags, it will flake onto your caliper but it's a caliper so it's okay. However, If you were to paint a car then mask it with paper. It sucks sanding flakes out. Also, if you boil a pot of hot water and put your clear coat can in it, the spray is amazing. it creates a cloud like with no spitting.. Great job.
That's easily one of the best caliper finishes thanks to the attention to detail.
Great job and thank you for sharing this project!
Looks amazing - thanks for sharing.
Finally someone who does it the right way. So many hack jobs who paint pads and everything else. Result looked really nice. Very clean
I wanted to say, well done! Best description yet!
Good clear instructions with following examples of how to do the job well. I noted the caution to be sure to do the initial cleaning of the break caliper really well. Thanks for the good camera and audio.
Great video!!!! Best video on youtube with the details and proper steps to do the job correctly.
Awesome job!!! Keep up the very good work you have been doing over the years I love your videos and God bless you
Thanks for your support!!
Great video. Very thorough explanation of each step and sensible advice.
Really well-done, man! Thanks so much. This color is really going to pop against my blue IS-F...
This was probably the best video I saw on how to do this! Nice work..
Great video! Very nicely done! I'm getting ready to overhaul my brakes and I'm adding this to the list.
Awesome color choice. Thanks for sharing bro.
Best video yet for this , great job you did
Excellent work.
I had never thought about painting the caliper on the car. Nice job, well done!
Excellent tutorial, thanks for taking the time and sharing.
Thanks for your comment!
Really great work! Thanks for sharing.
They look fantastic
Fantastic job. Nice result!!
Excellent results indeed, very good job man. I really like the gold color
Best video on this topic. Great job.
First well done regular brake caliper painting video I’ve seen. Tasteful paint choice also. I’ll probably go with a nice gunmetal color.
What a great video! Thank you.
Thank you very much! I will do mine when changing my brake rotors and pads! ( should be soon!)
What can you say, excellent job and great info and tips.
Can not complain about any stage personally. Very informative and like how you are given option for results rather than what had only been done In the clip. A* 👍👌
SUPER informative! awesome video
I had mines powdercoated and yours look just as good GREAT JOB I'll try myself next time
Heck of a job! Cool color choice too.
appreciate the attention to detail!
That looks great! Love the color too...
Great attention to detail! I'll be doing this with my Mazdaspeed 6 and my wife's Kia Sedona next Spring when it warms up. Will also do the decal option as well for both cars...but only after I smoother it out with my Makita die grinder like you did with the stone and drill. Great idea using the engine enamel to achieve a great selection of colors. Well done and great video quality.
good work i love this color
Great information and guidelines to details 👍
Great informative step by step video - excellent meticulous job!
Thanks for your comment!
Very professional job and great video
Great job! Looks really good 😎👍
Great video!
Sanding the line left by the cast is brilliant. Really cool. It’s all in the details. And I love the colour.
Thanks for your comment!
@@dial2fast what color of paint is that?
Excellent Jobs! Thanks for you video.
I liked grinding idea to smooth out the die cast lines and the decals with the clear coat on top!
Great sharing, I now have more confidence to DIY myself
Great technique. Tidy as clean.
Great video, thanks for all the great tips!
Thanks for your comment!

Video was amazing and instructions and steps. nice job....colour is good also. i will be painting my calipers red and hopefully will come out good.
Great job🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Great work. I love it.
VERY WELL DONE MY FRIEND !!!!
Prep work is 90% of the job and you did a mighty fine job! Your decals would never have looked as clean had you not ground that seam. Top notch!
Very good and clean job. I think my caliper will be the next ones. Thank you for the video, happy thanksgiving.

Great video, thanks for this! Will be doing this soon!
Awesome video
Wow, I would like to do it, really amazing.
Excellent job.
Great job!
Great job on the work and video!
Wow they look like new calipers. You did a great job! Note to spray clear over the stickers thanks!
very nice work and easy to paint also nice color. I think I going to paint my mind the same color
Beautiful. At first I was a little hesitant about the color, but after the job was done. They look amazing. Great work.
Nissan uses this colour for a lot of their sport models (350z, G35, R35 etc.) I'm going to do the same, it looks great.
@@prism9926 what color of paint is that?
The explanation was so well...n the finishing is amazing... Nice job... Thanks bro ...
Another AWESOME video. Looks good.
Thank you!
Awesome job! Quality of the video as well.
Best caliper painting video on youtube----- period
If you want a smoother finish so the paint and clear pop, I'd also use a hight heat primer....Otherwise, clean walkthrough and process. Great Job!
It's engine primer, that is high heat. Up to 550F° lol.. I think it looks that way because the calipers metal finish itself isn't all that smooth!
@@EscapePlanSkateboarding what color of paint is that?
thanks, you made it look so easy
Great work they look awesome 👌👌👏👏👍👍😍😍

Great video 👍👍👍
Wow... damn Freaking amazing! Love it love it!! Great job brother !
Great paint job keep it up
When applying the decal, Apply the center first then work your way to the outside. That way there is no chance for bubbles to remain and overall have the smoothest finish. Make sure you press down evenly to make sure it's set to the surface well before removing the applicator. You can see that dial2fast had a few instances of it still sticking to the applicator. Wait till the paint is dry enough too!! But try to put the clearcoat on within 30 minutes depending on your environment to have a good bond between basecoat and clearcoat.
One day I may set my car up in a body shop I have access too, but lay the paint from cans, unless I can get high heat paint for shop sprayers.
I've seen other examples where a base coat of black (or whatever color you want the decal lettering to be) is applied over the primer, then once it dries the decal goes in place, followed by the base color, overlapping the decal in the process. While the paint is still wet a precision tool like an exacto knife is used to pry up the decal and revealing the black under layer. I imagine a lot of patience is required but that's how I saw it done in another video where a man was restoring the calipers on a Mazda Miata.
Mistah J a cleaner stencil look without any vinyl left. More advanced method but surgical hands and patience will do the trick with that. Thanks for sharing. That’s my comment on an old account
Very nice job
best ever colour, BEST EVER, for calipers. I didn't know such a color code for spray cans even exists 😅
This is a great video - thumbs up! I had mine done by a pro, took 4 hours as they did not remove the calipers and thank goodness the weather is colder which made the drying time faster. As you said, so long as the areas where needed to be covered are well covered, the job will still look great (which it did in mine). However, there a tad bit of overspray that I noticed (which you will only really see if you look very close). Nonetheless, whatever method is used I think it will do as great.
Great n good job i like this way of work exelent work
Great video! Will do it when it gets cooler in Florida.
Look beautiful
Good stuff 👍🏼
