Upgrading STOCK Brakes with Slotted Rotors//Pads & G2 Caliper Paint!

- In today's video, we Upgrade these 18 Year Old Acura RSX Brakes into something worth looking at! We installed Centric Slotted Rotors, Stoptech Street Select Brake Pads, and Paint the OEM Brake Calipers with G2 Ceramic Caliper Paint! What a difference!
As much as I would love to upgrade and install a big Brake Upgrade on the Honda, it's just not in the budget for the build right now. Instead, I opted to give the Brake setup a refresh that looks and performs better than stock! Painting the brake calipers was a big priority considering how rusty and dusty they looks. After reading countless reviews on the G2 Ceramic Caliper Paint, I thought I would give it a go and try the application myself. On top of that, I had some Centric Blank Rotors Zinc Coated and Slotted by Rotorpros and bought Upgraded Stoptech Street Select Pads.
Prepping the Brake Calipers for Paint was key in the process. From Spraying Brake Cleaner to All purpose cleaner, I needed to clean the rusty calipers the best I could. From there, sanding the calipers and using a wire brush was able to smooth out the surface for the best adhesion possible. This is my first time painting brake calipers myself, let alone a "brush on" caliper paint. To my surprise, the G2 Caliper Paint is...very good and very easy to apply. After 3 coats, the Gloss black looked phenomenal.
Installing the brakes is pretty straight forward minus removing a stuck screw from the rotor and a wrong rear brake pad. I had cleaned the hub and painted the brake dust shield as the cherry on top. Installing slotted rotors is as easy as taking the old ones off. Just make sure to remove the brakes and hang the caliper somewhere safe. I greased the new hardware, pins, and back the brake pads. At this time, I have bedded in the brakes and they feel amazing. Smooth pedal feel and even wear on all 4 corners. Love the look and feel of this new setup!

What I absolutely love about this video Anthony is the fact that clean AF OEM+ goals are simply achievable even with a modest budget that will definitely look great until you can drop the big bucks on big brakes! Thank you for your contribution to the community to show anything is possible with minimal effort. Anyways man, great series thus far!
I appreciate that!
@@ALLDAYANTHONY my goodness... I should have proofread that before submitting but by my guess you got what I meant! It was a long day at work and was enjoying a delicious Wallace Idaho Vindicator while watching! Hopefully this is the last of the snow in our region and the detailing season is here soon!
Hey Anthony! I love this build so far! The attention to detail is great! You are definitely inspiring me to do my own things to my FG1!
Thanks man! I hope you do some cool things to it!
I rarely take time to write a comment, but man do your videos make my day, I too am a ocd enthusiast and Honda lover
Thank you for taking the time to make these videos, hard work really pays off, and you can tell how much work you put in your videos. Thank you
As the journeyman I trained under always told me I will now tell you.. "your hand is not a hammer" protect them hands brother!
I used the same caliper paint on my car. It has really held up even after a year. I love that grease and dirt just slides off of it.
The only downside is that the paint dries up even with the can sealed tight.
You think I can’t tell you are saying all K Anthony? I get it you got a K series! 😂❤
So you're all "K" anthony now 😂

Haha just for the RSX videos :)
Love this video. Brings me back when I did the same setup but the sport pads. Lasted so long and literally little to no brake dust. Wish I did the rears as well. I personally love the silver caliper look. But the black goes so well with your car.
Yesss another video! Can’t wait to see this build complete!
It’s getting there, slowly but surely
I love these types of vids! Now for that civic rear disc conversion Anthony!
Thanks man. That’ll hopefully be done this year. But who knows at this rate lol
Always good to start off a night with an ADA video!!!!😁😁
Thanks for watching man!
Been watching your videos for years and you always do a great job of being detailed in explaining everything. I’m an EVO guy but wouldn’t mind doing an RSX OEM+ build. Such a great platform.
dude i've had all notifications on for your channel since i subbed and i still probably get them only a quarter of the time. you're literally the only channel that i have experienced issues like this before, idk what's goin on.
Weird! But thanks for letting me know. Hope it’s not happening to others
I think that this paint works a lot better for a floating caliper setup. When I used it for my brembos it ended up leaving a lot of brush strokes and was pretty frustrating. You also have to be careful as it dries on things VERY well and can be difficult to remove. Wear gloves.
Very much enjoying the progress on the RSX, Anthony.
Literally doing all the same things to my recent 06 type s acquisition. New headlights ordered, it’s in PDR now and then off to have the front Resprayed and installing a double din this week, brakes next week lol. 06 with 180k too but my floor mats were covered their whole lives so they look new
That’s awesome man! You doing the right process
Thanks for sharing this video Anthony. I just ordered a G2 custom color of velocity blue for my Mustang. Hoping my calipers will turn out as well as yours did.
The info about the spline was really helpful. I was thinking I installed mine wrong but found out mine are just staright splines
Yep it’s all personal preference if they are straight splines
Look great. Nice slotted rotors. Black paint sweet.
Impact screwdrivers are life savers.
Looks good! I suppose if it's still on stands, you could refresh the muffler with some new high temp black paint. I had a Ktuned catback system but went back to the OEM system but repainted the muffler and polished the tip.
I have something planned for the exhaust!
Been thinking to upgrade my RSX too with Wilwoods
Wilwoods are great!!
@@ALLDAYANTHONY They are lighter than Brembos and they come with an adapter, with Brembos sincw they don’t come exactly for the RSX other than the Integra DC5, people make modifications around the hub and such methods are irreversible. So you’re better off with Wilwoods especially if your wheels are 17”.
I GOTTA SAY THAT THUMBNAIL IS A GREAT PICTURE TO START THE VIDEO THAT G·2 PAINT LOOKS GOOD TEMPTING I'D EVEN THOUGH I'VE THOUGHT OF "BLACK POWDER COAT" FOR CALIPERS, FORK & KNUCKLE ARM DO TO MY NEIGHBOR ACROSS MY STREET WORKS AT A SHOP DOING THAT IS CONVINCING ME TO DO IT BY THE LOOK THIS G·2 PAINT AS WELL I CAME OUT REALLY GOOD CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THE NEXT VIDEO SURE IT'S WITH YOO HOME·BOY JASON CAUSE THAT'S BEEN THE HOME·BOY THAT ASSISTS WITH COILOVERS YOU BOTH BANG OUT A GREAT GOOD PLUS FOR THE PRICES OF THAT PAINT THEY SHOULD ADD SOME CHEESY JOKES LIKE THE POPSICLE I'M EATING RIGHT THANKS ANTHONY CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT VIDEO ✌🏼OUT
POPSICLE JOKE:
HOW DOES THE OCEAN GREET THE BEACH ?? " IT WAVES "
I think you’ll be happy with the next video Noah :)
@@ALLDAYANTHONY WILL BE HERE WAITING MAN 🤟🏽
Enjoying this videos bro.
I have this upgrade on the list. just need a 2nd car and a garage to do it lol
Just so you know, you don’t need those rotor screws. All those do is hold the caliper in place when you take the brakes off other than that whenever you take the wheel off the brakes will keep it in place.
Just used the G2 paint my car last weekend before this video lmao i ended up loving it, i used red on my 335i and it looks great so far. Well worth it until I can get a real brake kit on there
I think the rotors are installed backwards the passenger side rotors are on the driver side and the driver side rotors are on the passenger. Look at the direction the slot rotate.
I’ll be curious to see how the G2 paint holds up for you. I used it on my calipers and it chipped in several places after less than 6 months, and it discolored (red paint turned black) in a few spots on my calipers. The discoloration did happen at a track day so I guess I managed to get the calipers hot enough to burn the paint..
Great Video! I was thinking of getting the G2 caliper paint, but I saw in the reviews that it got tough to work with as the painting went on and by the end, the hardener was almost impossible to go on smooth - what was your experience? Did brush on easy the whole time? Looked great in the video, how has it held up over the last year. Thanks for great video.
Dude I love your videos man. Keep bringing the killer content!
Also, you ever want to go b series in the civic .. you let me know 😂 I’ll drive my happy butt up there to good ol Idaho, and we’ll swap it in a day!👌🏻
Big fan of all your work!
Thanks dude! Appreciate you watching
ive been following your build every time! but just a quick question, where you get your mud flaps from? i wanna get a set for my DC5
I just had the shop (couldn't get the screws in the rotors out) install the EBC USR rotors front and back, new stainless lines and Stop Tech Street Touring pads and I'm trying to figure out what is wrong. Car has been bled twice, but there is zero bite. It slows down slowly, can't make it do anything even close to stock. Shop believes the pads are junk, as did the alignment shop (installed the RCA balljoints, sway bar endlinks and rear trailing arm bushings as well). So, ordered some Project Mu B Force/Spec pads... hopefully this fixes things because it has been super disappointing.
Pretty soothing to watch u paint 👍. Start a new painting channel with this wonderful serene music👍
Brilliant CZcams thanks bro
Good work Anthony but I suggest it’s better the color of calipers is silver..
The rotors are one backwards I'm pretty sure. When I did my brakes for my E46, the slots in the rotors are supposed to point forward, not backwards.
Also, slotted rotors DO NOT decrease stopping distance. They help with temperatures slightly, but they are really meant to help combat brake glazing.
They are pointing forward
Rear disc conversion for the red civic!
I was sus about the g2 caliper paint. This video just changed my mind.
The music reminds me of breath of fire 3. Sick video nevertheless, very relaxing.
Haha thanks man. Glad you liked it!
Stay tuned for next week when he drives 3 hrs to come replace the brakes on my civic 😂😂😂
For coilovers I’ve always think of _Fortune Auto_
Fortune makes great stuff, have several friends running their coils
@@ALLDAYANTHONY That’s where I’ll go with, they use it on competition & time attack. Get the _500_ one for street use. Can’t recommend them more than enough.
Looks great! Was that OPC you used to clean?
You know it!
“Nice deep dark and black” that’s what she said 😂😂😂😂
stainless steel brake lines would make this setup 100% perfect
Yeah but that changes everything and you have to break open the system
Paint me impressed looool!
It turned out great!!!
I am going to do this on my 02 type s. My question is why the G2 Paint oppose to a Dupli-Color caliper paint? I need to order paint and your input would be appreciated. Ordering today or tomorrow. Anyone else have good history with spray caliper paint for our cars?
G2 seems to be substantially more durable. I’ve used the duplicolor stuff before and this formula is for sure different
@@ALLDAYANTHONY I just feel it’s way more tedious than spray paint. But my real question is how long more does it last than spray paint. Also why didn’t you do a gloss clear coat?
Don't you need to remove the master cylinder cap before the caliper comes off?
Nope. Not unless you’re removing the brake lines and having to re-bleed
Can you use a paint gun for that paint?
question, bought a pristine White type s for 11,500$ for 90k miles(body) clean title
BUT is has 11k+$ worth of maintenance done including a brand new k20a2 block with semi built engine (forge pistons/rings, Manley rods and cartel 3.2 cams) and tuned everything else is completely stock.
also included with hondata k pro
interior looks like brand new
all done at 75k miles
was it worth it? makes 216hp and 155tq(conservative tune)
original keys and window sticker included
my question is, was it worth it?
all done by K Powered in North Palm Springs , Ca
I would say so! Mods don’t necessarily always add value but if the miles are low and the car is in good shape that’s all that matters!
Great looking but slots will not decrease braking distance. You need a big brake kit to reduce braking distance.
upgraded brakes dont decrease braking distance. tires do
@@iDatedMyPizza bigger rotors & bigger calipers & bigger pads will reduce distance.
The backstory to this video makes me want to buy anthony a beer. Or maybe a bar.
Thanks David, I need one. Lol
@@ALLDAYANTHONY perhaps in chicago.
Any one else hear all k Anthony in the intro 😂😂😂😂
I cant be the only one hearing allkayanthony in the intro
Finally!!!!
Thanks for showing up early ❤️
It does matter 🤦🏽🤦🏽🤦🏽 there directional for cooling and there legitimately made to go one way
need to get a gt86
Maybe someday!
Damn, last time I was this early my girlfriend left me
Based on your avatar photo, you’re gonna love this video.
Going K all day or least untill the video ends 😢
Am I trippin or is the paint slightly but I mean slightly blue
Probably just the lighting. It’s definitely black black lol
I did not like the G2 paint. Paint felt super runny and took forever to cover my brembos.
Interesting, I felt that it stuck almost immediately. Could be because the Brembos have a lack of texture in comparison to nissins
Also heads up, u dont have to open the cap when u compress the piston. Ur not adding any fluid or anything
Opening the cap allows the piston to full compress without putting pressure in the reservoir. I actually had to remove a good amount of fluid after the job was done!
1st
Verified first!
@@ALLDAYANTHONY thank you, I love your videos, I'm not a Honda guy, but your videos have that "home" feeling. Keep them up bro!!
What a terrible music !!!!!!
Yo about to do mine , same design as your calipers . Anything I should not paint that would screw up the pads going in?
JDM ONLY PLS.
