    I clean mine with brake cleaner after I sand. Drys fast also. It also rubs all over spray off rotor if not masked correctly rubbing with a rag. Also if you want a darker paint finish use grey primer. If you want a brighter finish colour use white primer.

    I remember the first time I did this totally on the fly years agp on a grand am and it still held up very well without primer. I think after watching this I can expand on it and even do a way better job on my current car- caddy xts. The type of paint you use is always very important.

  • @petesky007
    @petesky007 Před 9 měsíci +19

    Worth mentioning that you use axle stands and not to rely on the car jack.
    Also, some cars (VW, Audi etc) are more difficult to lift from a single point at the front so to be able to rotate the front wheels you need to jack up both sides.
    My preference is not to use spray paint but to use caliper paint (which in the UK can be had for £5) and after 3 coats gives a smooth finish and there's none of the overspray.

    If you do choose this method I highly suggest masking off the entire wheel well from over spray, the over spray will definitely be noticable inside the wheel well, and also recommend masking off some of the outside fenders, over spray is no joke it gets everywhere, or you can choose to use brush on paint, still looks just as good, no worries of over spray, much less masking..

      Great advice! My brother painted my black mustangs ' calipers. He's the one that had a garage..I didn't. Yet he painted the calipers outside. Needless to say I was very angry at him.. red overspray on the front end of the car. Car was only a few years old! What a dummy! I was introduced to the almighty clay bar.. where the blue clay bar turned purple from all the overspray. Now, a bunch of years later, I will do this myself (girl power!) in my 2 car garage & do the job RIGHT this time. #brothersAreDumb #brothersSuck

    Love the way you give the basics. Quick and simple. Only issues i had were the single jack under the front end. Better safe than sorry. Do one corner at a time if you dont have jack stands. It may take longer but its safer than trying to balance a car on one point. Also taking off the caliper and bracket only need 4 bolts total. You can sand/wire wheel while its installed. Then just balance it on top of the covered rotor to paint. I would remove the pads as they are just held with clips or just by pressure of the caliper. Taping off the rubber and plastic parts and bleeder valve are a necessity but you also dont want paint on the rotor. Youll have paint that will be seen through some cars wheels. As for the rest its great.

    Nice video, to the point. I like that. Never enough hours in a day if I want to sleep or sit-down and eat. Some easy reminders for me in your video. Saw how non-rusty your vehicle is, nice. Here there's a constant battle with rust (they pile on the road salts from October to May) and after 2-yrs my calibers look 5-yrs old with rust (average 18k miles a year on my Buick alone). When I re-do the front-end and rear-end this spring (due to sodium-chloride [road salt] and rust) I'll keep your video in mind. Yea, I'll still have to take the calibers off to paint them, but they'll be off anyway. Thank you.

    I liked your work as i work myself in this industry a piece of advice is that you should have masked off the brake pads as well for a professional finish and another way to get a better and clean job without covering the callipers with plastic bag can be done by brush painting it while it have a more thick enamel and should off covered with a clear coat in end to long laster and protect against chemicals used in the car washes these days! else than that i loved your preparation and work!!

    I did mine last 2 years ago but used a brush on epoxy. This method means I don't have to tape or mask anything off. In a perfect word, you'd paint them the same time you're doing a brake job. This way you get the top bracket sand blasted so it looks like new.

    Dude! Those bright metal brackers part of which sticking out at the bottom and top of pads is where your pads slide back and forth, they can not be contaminated with paint, clearcoat, etc. For simple safety, if you understand how floating caliper/brake system works, you should've remove pads and sliding brackets.
    Beatifull job cant be just about looks good screw safety measures, some safety and common sense should be applied especially if you advertize/show this to general public, contaminating pads and rotor surface with all those cleaners does not seem like a great idea either.
    2 stinking bolts out and you could have remove pads and hardware, gain full acces to put plastig bag over rotor and have better acces around the caliper to clean and paint, I mean you could mount it back without pads, just dont press brake pedal while at it.
