Beginners Guide on HOW TO POWDER COAT BRAKE CALIPERS, the right way! Brembo Calipers from my F30 BMW

[@JewelsGraham]

Eastwood's powder coating gun works GREAT for the money. But to make MUCH more efficient, you have to remove that diffuser and use very low pressure.

[@rbleeze]

For all of those inquiring, yes he removed the pistons and seals. This is the 3rd installment of a 3 video process. (How to remove the brake calipers[1], How to clean the brake calipers[2], and lastly, How to powder coat the brake calipers[3]). 👍🏻

[@h82crash]

Why? Besides the exhaust, brakes are the hottest operating parts of the car. Seals can withstand much higher temps than a PC oven. Even to the point the powder coating burning is a concern.

[@scottyg376]

did u take the pistons and seals out?

[@arcanum3882]

I do not know

[@kenkobra]

Was this answered? I would think the seals would be bad once they are baked at 400.

[@chrisbraganza8481]

Awesome video as usual, Brian!!! You are so clear with the video and the instructions!!!

[@KiesMotorsports]

Thanks, Chris!

[@narcisoa]

Great video man. Very nice for a first timer. Advice: remove the tip of the PC gun, lower the air pressure, you were overspraying at some point and the air filter aka water trap works better if you use it closer to the gun, meaning the other side of the hose. Next time you’ll do even better 👌🏻

[@TheMick26]

Those calipers are going to look amazing on the car, Bryan. Good job, buddy!👌

[@troyberber2324]

Awesome as always

[@cpad007]

Nice job on the virgin powder coating! Those came out quite nice. I'm anxious to see how that yellow looks once installed back on the car.

[@fawkurface46]

glad you decided to replace seals. I was freaking out like "noooooo, you just heated the seals to 400 degrees. them bitches are gonna rip within the month"

[@skankytrick]

Calipers get a hell of a lot hotter than 400°.

[@Baroy1010]

What about the o ring and seal with the 400F

[@cwen9147]

Dont you have to take the calipers apart and remove the seals so they don't melt

[@536joe]

Brakes are built to work with crazy high temperature

[@prostreetgsxr]

Yes to do this job correctly you need to disassemble the caliper

[@gentlecareledward]

This is dope

[@M3BEATS]

Always wondered how to do this. Thanks for sharing, now to decide which color!

[@arunpandian8161]

Whether automation is possible for these parts

[@micraw714]

that's way cool! I'd like to do my wheels in gold but don't think they'd fit in my oven lol

[@BimmerTV]

"I like my hands so I'm not going to" LOL! Another great vid Brian!

[@BimmerTV]

LOL the end!!

[@KiesMotorsports]

lol, thanks

[@KiesMotorsports]

I wasn't kidding about the end scene! lol. Are you coming to our car show??

[@BimmerTV]

I kind of had a feeling you weren't! Yeah man definitely. I'm gonna sign up right now.

[@BimmerTV]

Just signed up ;)

[@bryanrodriguez9883]

Awesome vid makes it look so easy

[@geraldsreptiles7003]

Did you only use one pound for this?

[@maestromaestro]

Don’t need to remove the seals. They experience higher temps on the track. There’s a lot of supporting information on that. And, you can cure at 390F. And yeah - wear eye protection and definitely- a filter mask, kid. Long sleeves. PPE is important.

[@Freedom_is_better_than_safety]

So you’re saying there’s no need to tear down brake calipers to powdercoat them? I haven’t seen any literature on this, but I always assumed they had to be torn down to coat so nothing internal or the external seals would be damaged.

[@reecemyrie1742]

Always best to remove everything, what he doesn’t say if there is any grease or fluids trapped anywhere when heated up they will drip over the part while in the oven

[@Ihaveadashcam]

Get BlackVue DR900S front and rear dash cam and hardwire it with power magic pro.

[@KiesMotorsports]

Stay tuned :) We're BlackVue Dealers..

[@Ihaveadashcam]

Kies Motorsports good

[@Ihaveadashcam]

Kies Motorsports also I love your shop you should make it nice and decorate it and make it your own.

[@KiesMotorsports]

Thanks! We're doing what we can :)

[@randersizzerranderesizzer2753]

What about outgassing? This import with brake calipers they are porous and hold oil . Under heat these oils wil ruptsure and release to the surface .leaving you with an inferior spray job. So why not before coating ,you put in oven to outgass riding the deep porous pockets of oil , grease and grime. Then if you spray you get a better job in the end. Just look it up , you should already know.

[@Joe_DeSantis]

How has this held up? The eastwood powder coat used in the video is rated at 250 degrees F max?

[@skankytrick]

Right. You need to use high-temp powder. Eastwood doesn't sell any, so this guy didn't mention it.

[@ruansteve8447]

what is the difference between spray paint from powder , just for asking

[@KindaSmekt]

Powder is a harder type of paint, since it isnt really paint. You see it on alot of heavy duty machinery etc.

[@chasegoodman1700]

I want to do this on my unfinished front Brembo brake calipers. Since they are Brembo would it be bad of me to paint the Brembo logo on the calipers? Could you even do that with powder coating?

[@KiesMotorsports]

Brembo is Brembo :) Logo it up..

[@cpad007]

Since I got the Track Pkg on my 2017 340i, they came painted (powder coated?) and with the ///M logo.

[@M3BEATS]

Agreed, they hid the logo on the back of the stock brakes for some reason, but they are Brembos.

[@chasegoodman1700]

Mike and those decals can handle the heat? Thanks, I will look those up!

[@davidreagorkarate5549]

How much does it cost at a shop? Anyone know?

[@1up17]

No mask?

[@twinb5840]

You should do your V brace behind the grill

[@mancaveproductions00]

Does that heat effect the rubber in the brake?

[@KiesMotorsports]

The seals?

[@ToughtPolskia]

@@KiesMotorsports yes the seals. Dont you have to take them off beforehand? Also, if you were to put a decal on, would you just stick it on and then do a clear powder coat?

[@f32ftw65]

Do you offer powder coating services for brake calipers?

[@darkshadowsx5949]

take the diffuser off the gun. that wide diffuser is best for large parts.

[@in54ne82]

Does anyone know if power coating calipers can withstand track use?

[@levainterk8918]

Do those caliper fit on a x1 ?

[@tonirai]

When you paint it, you stick the decal before the clear coat... how do we do it when powder coated?

[@WHTMAN-ei7ik]

António Raimundo Same way! Bake it for 20 minutes and then carefully remove and put on sticker and then powder the clear coat!

[@xboxbadboy1]

same process just use clear powder.

[@aisn1]

Turo T. Do u have to bake the clear powder for 20 min?

[@RetiredLife808]

Trying to watch the caliper series but the prep video shows as no longer available. Hoping to see this: Video Two: How to Prep Calipers for Powder Coating: • Video

[@navigation4653]

Why powder coating instead of paint? Which one is better and last longer?

[@philb707]

Powdercoat last wayyyy longer also it doesnt chip like paint

[@reecemyrie1742]

Good job but should of put powder primer on first and never touch when hot can leave finger prints on it use welding gloves to lift rack out an put somewhere cooler

[@bestenginejdm1543]

You don’t remove plastic seal inside piston when you take it inside oven

[@skankytrick]

Are you saying you're supposed to? The seals are designed for high temps.

[@liemqnguyen]

LOL, might as well just powder coat everything in your garage ! hehehehe j/k

[@THESICKSILVERADO]

That gun looks like it wastes alot of powder.

[@aSASa45454]

prob 90% waste lol

[@spydergs07]

It's not the gun it was how he had it setup. He could have used lower pressure and taken the diffuser off the end.

[@Twin_turbo_coyote_fox]

@@spydergs07 I have the same gun. I lower pressure to 6-8 psi and remove the diffuser. it wastes much less.

[@fredgust84]

Aren`t you risking hazing you cars paint by doing it righ beside it?

[@KiesMotorsports]

No, it's just powder. For it to actually stick to anything, you need to bake it at 400 degrees for 20 minutes and it melts down. I just blew off the car with an air nozzle and wiped it down

[@jonathonroyce9495]

You should have NOT mentioned using the wife's oven period. It is very toxic, and it should be a dedicated over for powder coated parts. Secondly, the pistons and dust covers should have been removed, the part prebaked (to remove contaminates), THEN cleaned/sand blasted.

[@JohnDoe-fy5kd]

Have you ever heard of yellow lung diseases??

[@536joe]

This guy sounds like chrisfix

[@SpeedFreak0122]

no M decal on the caliper?

[@Rois300]

Hey. Beginner guide doesn't help if it mean this dummy (this guy aka me) has no idea how to properly remove without leaking the brake fluid..
