Followed Justin's steps on my 2015 Porsche Cayman S rear brake rotors, which rusted in just 2 months, using the same supplies, and it came out PERFECT! Fun afternoon project. The rear rotors now match the front factory silver finish and while I was at it, I cleaned the inner rims, waxed the painted outside wheel, and also the red Brembo/Porsche pad assembly. Looks like a brand new car! Thanks Justin - great video!
im thinking of doing this.
One question though, is it best to mask the hub face face so the alloy wheels makes direct contact with rotar hob metal?
hi buddy should you not have applied a primer first so that the paint on the drums would last longer then once spray painted applied a clear natural gloss spray ?ty
Great video man! Congrats on the 5k!!!
+DRIVEN ROYALTY thanks!!
Good video. I'll be doing this as soon as the weather warms up. Nice to see someone using silver, rather than a crazy color that draws too much attention. I'll be using silver as well, for a clean look. How is the DupliColor holding up?
Did mine a couple months ago using black, high temp, BBQ grill, spray paint. Pretty easy & looks nice.
Great job. I love those rims!
Any feedback on how long this lasted before rust started again? if it started even?
What was the sanding block you used to prep it with? What grit?
How did you take off the rust ? What did you use ?
Yo respect for the info 💯
Hi, what kind of paint did you use?
How much cans you used per rotor?
Great rims and tires bro. Where did you buy them?
Can anyone tell me what sandpaper/block to use for the rotor? Since the links in the description aren't working. Thanks
great vid bro
Good job bro Look sweet!
Why didnt you remove the brake disk ?
A lot more easyer and you also could paint the intirior , if you get paint on the sides that the pad makes contact in a few miles the pad would clean ..
Good job mate :)
You should've painted the caliper while you were at it! Looks good!
Is it the same for drums?
just had a thought.. for the bolt holes.. wonder if those foam ear plugs would fit in there..
Yeah they'd fit great - but bear in mind that aerosol paint will dissolve them pretty quickly. There are other types that are gummy as opposed to foam, but there's a risk you'd leave little pieces in the threads. Probably not that much of a problem though come to think of it.
Yes, it would fit but with or without ear plugs to fit in would be zero issues when you’re trying to put those bolt through the holes.
Good shout , also blu tack
Love the videos man the are really great. Do you have lowering springs on that? What kind of so?
I dont remember if i did at the time, but now i have have H&R sport springs and bilstein shocks and struts
lowering springs? he should get a 5ft lift kit.
cant hit deer if they cant reach the bumper. he can drop a rope ladder to climb into the car like he's being rescued from the congo by helicopter.
Excellent job bro. I am going to do mine myself on my 350z. Thank you for the video.
Shawn Waller owned or leased?
So I been having a rear wheel wobble and I think it’s due to rust on the hub making the wheel not sir blush. Any suggestions on fixing this issue? I have a 08 Volkswagen GTI.
wheel bearing
How long do you let them dry before its safe to put the wheels back on? I don't have a garage so I will be outside doing mine, thanks.
maybe an hour or so. they will be dry to the touch in about 10 minutes, but let them dry out a little bit first
Shawn Waller use a heat gun?
Thanks! Gona do this to my 335👍🏽
Thx for the video, definitely need to do this on my 10 year old audi a4
how many paint cans???
What about the inside?
Just subd bro!
I would assume it would be easier to remove them and then paint, looks good tho
no to remove the brake disk you need to remove the calipers first which on my car took about 1 hour to do. its not worth it.
dude takes me 5 minutes to remove the rotor, we have the same car
this depands on the experience you have and the tools you use... i needed like 1,5hours to change full brakes on Front Axle and the 2nd time as i lowered my car ill was used too do it in less then 30mins
You only need like 3 wrenches, and 2 Alan keys
1BAD328 ...
He's like 4 bolts away from having that rotor completely off.
That would be way too simple!
Might as well paint the rotor edges - they get rusty too
Nobody talks about painting the other side if the rotor!
I wonder why?
EXCELENTE APORTE... ME AYUDO MUCHO. SALUDOS DESDE VENEZUELA...
I want the exact same wheels + rims as you. I have the same car. Its overwhelming when you go on the internet to find some. I dont know much about this stuff but i just want them. is there anyway you could send me the links to these? That would be great thanks!
Rear: 18x9.5 amzn.to/29HI6zp
Front: 18x8.5 amzn.to/29HI5LW
Prices are for one wheel so you need to buy 2 front and 2 rear (if you want to run a staggered setup where the rear are wider)
This is called a wheel hub correct??
The part Im painting in the video is the brake rotor which attaches to the wheel hub
@@justinbuice Brake rotors or brake drums correct?? I totally confused wheel hubs & asked my mechanic if he can clean my rusty wheel hubs & he said we typically replace that part lmao.
Hey Justin, how is keeping the paint after almost two years? Ty
Not too bad considering the winters and salt here. Could use a respray soon though
Ok. I need to do this job to my car and your experience of two years is important. Thanks man!
Ps: are you considering to do a re-painting video?
Paolo Gallo perhaps their might be a better paint to use? Just asking!
Great video bro :) just askin what song is this?
+Dr Chemli i dont remember the exact name of the song but all the music I use is produced by Chuki Beats i have his link in the description or you can search him on youtube. He's the best!
Where did you get those wheels from and how many inches are those will they fit on the E61 M5
Rear: 18x9.5 amzn.to/29HI6zp
Front: 18x8.5 amzn.to/29HI5LW
These are the wheels I have. They will fit your car but for a 5 series I would get 19"
+Justin Buice Thank you but where did you buy them.
NICE WHEELS!
very good
Looks just like Bosch Quietcast, the best rotors I've used so far in terms of rust prevention and corrosion. (and looks) Particularly in North East region which says a lot.
Same i just got my second set last week in rock auto they are cheap
Finest Indeed, cheap but good performance and keeps rust at bay . Love OEM but more expensive and a rust magnet usually.
Great!
It looks a lot cleaner
Thinking on doing this on my car hmmm
What kind of wheels are those
Jimmy Bracken VMR V710's.
will you change your head light bulbs and get HID?
I have HID's. I just didn't have them on. In the video you are seeing the daytime running lights which are oldschool bulbs. I may change those out in the future :)
you may? you mean you will lol, gotta have nice white angel eyes
I had some cheap led's for the angel eyes before but they burned out. I will eventually get a decent set but money is kinda tight right now lol
amazing results for minimum work involved. How is it holding up now after 2 years do you need to reapply?
the rust is just now starting to come through. I will probably re-paint them in the spring
Justin Buice according to the other folk,your wheels would have fell off by now. Lollllll
Primer, Paint, clearcoat. Looks awesome, lasts years.
@ColdPetRat2.99 only when your using them.
Is it really that easy? Mine didn't come painted and I hate the look. This seems like a project for next week
what did you clean the rust off with in the vid? thanks
+paul whittle after i sanded i just used grease remover spray
I didn't use high temperature paint, is bad think what can happen?
what paint did you used?
JA VI are you serious? he literally said and showed you in the video
Josh H lol mercy.. I was too exited about the video, didn't pay attention.
Anyone:
How long does it take for the paint to cure ? Should you leave it for a while, before driving ?
+cielobuio it dries in about 10 minutes but will take 24 hours to fully cure
Thanks - I plan to do this soon on my 4 Series. Probably 1 wheel a week.......
I was checking out the rotors yesterday while washing the car. Seems like the front drivers side is worse than the other side, in terms of rust. Any idea why that would be ?
I did my first wheel yesterday - looks good, but for some reason the pain isn't fully drying (?). I can run my finger across the hub and it has silver on it, though the paint doesn't seem to be wet or sticky.... I don't get that... Is it down to the paint maybe. I need to make sure I'm doing it right before starting on the the other wheels.
Also, is the break disk and the rotor a single part ? I can't see any seam, on my 4 series, it's as if the hub and disk are a single component.
Thanks for any tips/advice
Should of taken them off car its just 2 bolts holding calipers on use a bit of wire to hang them from spring a small wooden wedge between pads to keep them in place lots neater and only 5 mins more work I have done this on lots of cars including bmtroubleu
How has it held up?
Surprisingly well, 2 years later. I might re paint them this spring
@@justinbuice alright same, I wanna try this, thanks for the quick reply
You shouldn’t be painting the drive flange wheel contact area. Also much nicer job if you remove the caliper and rotor. Neverthelessless it’s a quick refresh
Why not save the tape time and over spray risk so you can paint the back side as well. Prevent rust...
That is on my "To do list"..My calipers look really bad!!../It's the first thing you notice..
Nice, but next time tape over where you want your paint to end, then trim around with a sharp blade to get a cleaner. Just did mine last week.
So odd seeing cars with lug bolts instead of nuts, seems like such a nightmare 😂
Did you take the bolts out before jacking the car up? How?? The video looks like you did but surely not??
I may have left something out when I edited. But I loosen them a bit with the car on the ground and then take them all the way out with the car jacked up
Justin Buice Yeah same. I made that mistake in college. Wan't thinking and took the bolts all the way out while forgetting to jack it up :L
I never thought of painting my brake calipers lol. Looks nice tho.
Gonna paint my rotors and brake calipers at the same same. G2 paint
I think you have to remove brake disk to paint. Because all paint will be at arch, on body etc
if you are painting inside u dont need that. there is no wind
Dont paint the mating face with the wheel, as it transmits brake torque by friction.
Can you exaggerate on this point? Im thinking of following this video but I don't quite know what you mean, is there something wrong in the vid? thanks!
Basically don't paint where the wheel mounts - its a layer of paint between where the wheel touches the rotor
Chris J
So no one makes painted rotors?
@@pauliedontsurf exaggerate? You mean elaborate?
Remove and paint correctly
Should have just put anti-seize of the face of the rotor and left it raw.
slow good
do you skate?
+LACRUZ UNDERGROUNDKLIPZ yes
Justin Buice nice me too and i love cars
i spose i couldnt do too much damage attempting this myself
Famous last words lol
just buy zinc plated rotors
hey justin! you make awesome videos man! ive been with you since less than 1k subs! you actually inspired me to make some videos of my car! can you please check out my vids and perhaps give me some tips and tricks? Keep up the good work man!
but in the hot of break his burn
+abdou almagro it's brake caliper paint. It's designed to withstand high temperature
+Justin Buice aah d'accord mon frère merci beaucoup
shouldn't you have used primer first then paint - just saying
No need too
Dont paint the mating surface of the wheel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
why not?
Because you usually mount the wheel metal to metal with a speific torque, if there is paint inbetween, since paint is softer than metal, it will "absorb" some of the torque and worst case scenario the bolts could come loose
is this true @Justin Buice?
Schluempf lein , does that mean you will lose a bit of torque power because the wheel is now pressing up against paint and not bare metal??
Nicholas Delagas yes kinda. Tge other problem is that mounting the wheel with ~110 nm against paint it is very likely that the paint will get damaged after a few times, it starts peeling off in some places and the mounting surface wont be even anymore. Just dont paint where the wheel mounts imho
You missed a spot.
Dont paint never again. You paint a part of the disc and the shaft nut.. If you do not remove the disc, you better not do it.. The paints contain oil, the oil prevents friction. Then, if there is paint on the braking surface, the brake will not work.
+Gaspar Gatti did this a year ago and never had an issue with it. Any excess paint on the braking surface rubs off the first time you apply the brakes.
Amateurish... should've just removed the disc!
Don't paint the surface..
is he suppose to paint the air around it?
You're So lazy. Pull caliper off and paint rotor off car... or buy a rotor with powder coated hub next time around.
