Followed it myself because I’m getting new rims tomorrow and they all turned out amazing, it took me about 8 hours to do all 4 calipers and about $40 for all the supplies at Walmart and it’s so worth it. If you have unpainted calipers this is an amazing weekend project worth doing.

[@matthewbentley5810]

Doing my soon this week. Getting new rotors and brake pads for the third time on my car, no biggie but putting in new struts and control arm. Going to follow this up by listening to you on the Walmart part getting supplies and ready to see my wheels pop! 8 hours isn’t bad at all.

BRO UPDATE ??

[@WRCEVO3]

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.

[@BuddysDIY]

Great tips!

I took your advice and the job came out great!.

[@domen808]

Good primer tips and awesome vid. Will be doing this as soon as my new rotors and brake pads come in soon. Also , should i throw on a coat or 2 of clear coat ? 2 coats primer , 3 coats top coat then 2 coats clear ? Or would the clear be unnecessary

@@AmritpalSingh-zj9kd two cans of each will do your fine. like buddy said you want to make sure you lay it on thick enough so it protects and lasts longer

[@Mr.PeabodyateU2]

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

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.

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.

Nice job!

Although that last coat was so thick it probably won't matter. Great vid for sure! 👍

[@fatboyshadetree5139]

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.

Atleast take off the brake pads then just spray it , i work on cars and i always see customers have paint on the backin plates n pads makin them stick and not realease fully ..so keep that in mind the small extra step goes a long way . Other wise good job

Great video! straight to the point. I recommend using a mask when sanding off the caliper with that wire wheel or sand paper. Also, using a leaf blower will help to remove the dusk and brake cleaner will remove residue as well. I was glad to see your use of jack stands as well!

[@Ensoniqdude]

I don’t usually subscribe to folks….but I did here. One thing I will note about steps. You used a heavy duty Jack to raise the entire front end of the car. I definitely can see the front shift & wobble. It was nice to see the smaller Jack stands used in the video shots with the wheel removed. You might have mentioned safety & the need to do that. I realize it would seem to be common sense, but if you aren’t used to jacking up cars and taking wheels off someone might get hurt or the car get damaged by using just one centered heavy duty Jack & both front wheels off the car. You did mention the safety aspects of the E-Brake & chocking the back wheels…..reminding people to use Jack stands once lifted would have also been a helpful tip. Other than that…..great video.

[@Kyleramsey999]

Pretty good video. You have have to watch out for the brake dust. That's a killer !!! My advice would be to wash the caliper properly the day before and allow it to dry properly for the preparation and painting the next day or two ( depending on the weather conditions)

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.

Another question - using regular enamel paint on the calipers, do you find that the paint gets melted away by brake cleaner?

[@buzzeard]

Brake cleaner wrecks all paint.

I’ve been planning on painting my brake calipers. First of all I just wanna say thank you for this video and getting right to the point and I love the red But if I use the 2x ultra cover primer. What purple should I use if I want like a vibrant candy purple?? Should I use the dupli color metal cast or the vht anodized color coat?

[@rafaelhernandez2888]

You are really professional. Today I tried your way of spraying the calipers and the results are unbelievably astonishing. Thanks a bunch!

[@USM3C]

Brake calipers can reach temps way past 500 degrees on the track (road course). Good enough to melt just about any paint non high-temp. Otherwise, great video 👍😁

[@BuddysDIY]

Well if you're a regular driver like most then you don't gotta worry but yeah I agree

[@Justmi2cents]

Very RARE to have calipers reach that temp in a work car!!! I don’t have time to tell you how rare it is! Great video!!!🌹

[@USM3C]

@@Justmi2cents I did say the ROAD COURSE. I imagine you probably don't drive your work car on the road course.

3yrs later and I used this video to paint my first set of calipers, thanks brotha

Looks clean!!

Thanks Todd!!

[@markallen2776]

Great Video!...I use the first coat to get into all the 'holes'...hard to get paint into areas...the overspray will hit the 'easy' areas...then go from there

[@andrewlawrence1169]

You couldn't have undone like 2 bolts to just take the caliper off for a second to actually paint the entire thing?

[@Brakzillaa]

Right? Second, If I was going to tell someone new how to do this, I would rather recommend using actual caliper spray paint, or high heat spray paint from autozone or whatever. Regular rustoleum will just chip and flake in the long run on parts that get semi hot. lol

[@andrewlawrence1169]

@@Brakzillaa shits gonna just flake off in a month

[@themerianofamily]

Fantastic vid! Straight to the point & easy step by step instructions. Will be doing mine. Thank you for sharing!!

[@TheWeebs1968]

Probably OK on a crappy car, but on a nice car, I wouldn’t want all that over spray on everything! I would be be taking the callipers off.

[@Viral__TV]

And on a crappy car is not even worth the effort. A catch 22

[@Retz1234]

@@Viral__TV If your a 16 year old with a crappy car. Cheap and probably completely worth it for them.

[@boarzwid1002]

Because you don’t know what you’re doing, a good painter won’t get overspray on his car

[@Officialjimibaur]

I drive a high performance cadillac with an occasional pull or two, should I be fine with the paint you recommend or go for the heat resistant?

[@kimbarling4213]

Great job bro But I think you could have shielded the inner wheel well from overspray with more garbage bags !
