[@wordtruth6116]

One tip that is missed here is don’t attempt to put the decal until after 10 days so paint is cured. Otherwise, it will peel your paint, ruin the sticker and you will have to start over. I learned the hard way.

[@DrMarvinLara]

What if you use a heat gun to cure the paint?

[@inkzry]

I did it and mine didn’t come off

[@blacquePattie]

you needed to showcase "before" and "after" pics... plus show the front calipers clearly... 😕

[@gofres]

Wouldn't this be easier to do with the caliper off? Sure you'd need to bleed the brakes afterwards but that's no big deal for a much better even coat all round?

[@michaelstratton1467]

If you do the primer first and then the basecoat over top of the primer the paint finish comes out much better. It is much more metallic and bright. If you paint directly over the primer, the calipers look dull and Matte

[@nevilletisch9637]

Yeah makes no sense primer should be on bare metal then base. Putting base first then primer, the primer would negate what baseless coat does

[@PatsGarageOnline]

The calipers look great! I've never done this to calipers but you made the process look easy. I'd definitely give it a go if I wanted to switch colors, for sure. Great idea with the channel membership and thanks for the THIC I8 plate!

[@ThicGarage]

Thanks Pat. Your ceramic coating video was also great! Thinking about doing my wheels as well.

[@Munecoshh1]

Great video, I order the paint already, it’s going to be blue as well. Can’t wait to start this project in my 535i

[@BlueMoonVideoProductions]

Do you have a link to the M Logos you used?

[@ruben02021965]

I enjoyed the video but you didn't show at the end the finished product? 😕

[@kevinholdman8471]

Great video. I'm about to change my rotors and brake pads on a 535i M Sport and have a couple questions. My apologies if they've been asked before....Is this the blue that you used (Dupli-Color MC201 Blue Metal Cast Anodized Color? it was slightly hard to see the can label. Also, the fronts appeared lighter than the backs that you did for this video...Is that because they weren't dry or possibly lighting? And finally, did one can of each of the three paint layers do all 4 calipers? Thanks in advance!

[@papacej7519]

These little music spots sped up make this brides perfect great video bud easy to follow great stuff

[@sammieslick09]

Deff considering getting the neomax coilovers just painted my calipers too! Good job looks good

[@projectf025]

Noooo, go straight to airride son

[@bradmallett8698]

Great work bro

Great work! Such an inspiration I guess I won't go to a shop to do these

[@Shak-Agha]

Thanks champ for clear and detailed video.

[@duramaxcountryboy2107]

Those calipers look great 👍

[@kingchowdhury4056]

Thank you for your demo. I have the exact car and planning to do the same. May I know where did you get the m stickers for the all 4 wheels? Ty

[@elbonbon914]

Yea I’m doing this to mine same color too👍🏽👍🏽

[@eyalgolan26]

Great video, I own a BMW & your video is really the best explained the process, but I would have removed the caliber of the car to have it perfect.. I will use the paint & steps you recommended.. Thank you..

[@drew0177]

Are you pleased with the Coil overs on your car or would you change them If you had the chance..

[@ThicGarage]

I think they are great. Wouldn’t change them.

[@projectf025]

Forget coils go straight to air ride

[@mariordh93]

Approximately how many cans did you required for the 4 calipers!?

[@ThicGarage]

I got 2 of each can but only used 1 of each

[@michaelwilliams3164]

What happens to the finish product clip 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@projectf025]

I gotta repaint mine red thems is gettin dull, nice job the blue pops nice with the white

[@w_dub_wilberforcejr]

thorough job bro!! nice👊🏽

[@kevinholdman8471]

Sorry, one more question...Where did you get the "M" stickers and were they different sizes for the front and back? Technically two question :-)

[@geoffW1997]

Very nice job indeed. I did pain brush on my brake and it looks horrible. Perhaps you could share the link of your spray cans (colour code) so I could try if they are available in the UK. Thanks.

[@ThicGarage]

Thank You! Here are some links of the paints I used. Dupli-Color Base Coat: amzn.to/2XkiNtz Dupli-Color Blue Anodized: amzn.to/3d7kSjr Dupli-Color Clear: amzn.to/2WSp3tu

[@geoffW1997]

ThicGarage thanks a lot.

[@sacos9420]

Do you need the primer with the base coat? I noticed that you didn’t include a link to the primer in the description. Also will regular vinyl be fine for the heat of the calipers or is there a specific vinyl used for the logos you used? Thanks!!

[@ThicGarage]

Just the base coat, color and. Clear coat. The stickers I got from eBay and work great. I will try to find you the link

[@davidshamiri1448]

I bought 3 f10s in the past 9 months - first was stolen, bought a second, then car was recovered so i sold the second one, then there was delay in getting damages fixed on first one so I bought a third - I have the first and third one, I think Im going to sell both for a profit lol

Holy crap!

[@BPF80MCar-vi1pg]

So you did this to your regular brakes. Kinda silly if you ask me

[@shogunlu1501]

Can you drop link for the M decal

[@donnychiappetta5690]

Where did you get the caliber decal

[@svtgrizzwall1997]

What color blue did you use

[@n1kurd]

For the degreasser could I use WD 40?

[@eurovicperformance1379]

No because WD-40 is basically fish oil. Brake cleaner would be your best bet.

[@shogunlu1501]

How many bottles for all 4 brakes?

[@chrise202]

Result?

[@deanjono22]

Just purchased my F10 M Sport and wanna do the same. But where do you get the emblems from? I'm in 🇬🇧 UK

[@ThicGarage]

Found on eBay

[@hassanr1991]

Hey, this looks awesome! Where did you get the stickers from? Link?

[@ThicGarage]

I cant remember the link but it was on ebay

[@nicholascogliandro5587]

I have a bmw 430i my back calipers are extremely rusty should i use a drill but to get the rust off and can you send the links to the paints

[@ThicGarage]

Depends on how rusty your talking about. You can try using some scrubbing bubbles foam cleaner with a wire brush to break loose major rust and then use steel wool. I have links to paints listed in the description. Good luck!

[@Bin1adin]

Hey man thanks for the video I’m going to try an attempt this but I can’t seem it find the clear gloss you show in the video. I live in Canada and we just have multi purpose clear coat by dupli-Color, would that work?

[@ThicGarage]

Try searching Amazon for it. Need something high temp

[@dvader3000]

I lnow is a lot more work but if I do this i will take them off completely,might as well do it really right

[@victormaldonado7143]

Hey great channel. I’m going to do the same to my calipers on my f10. Just wanted know are the m stickers the same size for the front and the back. Do you know the size or do you have a link for the stickers you bought.

[@codypalmer2732]

Base coat before primer? I think you got confused good sir..

[@ThicGarage]

Their base coat is to be used first per instructions to allow primer to stick. Paint still holding up very nicely

[@angeljimenez4062]

Yea I'm pretty sure primer goes first

[@markymark2599]

I am about to do this myself and have the same question. I dont see anywhere on the cans or on duplicolor.com to put down primer over the basecoat. One point of the basecoat is to to provide a better color "pop" if applying to a non chrome surface. if you go over it with primer you kill that effect. Great video overall.

[@Ethnmoreno]

I wonder why nobody just takes the caliper off? wouldn't it be much easier. paint all 4 in 10 minutes.

[@ThicGarage]

Then u have to drain ur brake fluid, fill it up and bleed them when u reinstall. Also would need to compress pads if the piston pushes them out. Much easier taping up
