I had my doubts without any sanding or primer before. But damn. Proved me wrong 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

no waste its only a Chev

[@RobertPeck-o1o]

two things to point out that others should consider before taking on this job. 1. the caliper bolts are one time use, they should not be reused as they are torque to yeild, look it up. 2. removing the hydralic lines will introduce air into the system and brakes will need to be bled... as an added bonus, it's very simple to remove the brake pads, so may as well do that instead of masking them.

[@darvidlsx6.0]

Damn that looks really good. I will definitely be painting mine today.

[@kevinfleck1296]

Good stuff, dude. Those look way better than they looked before.

[@bigblockkev]

Thanks man! I thought so too.

[@alanh5348]

Those look great, I have an ‘18 SS with the same calipers, I was bleeding mine yesterday and thinking, I wonder how easy to paint over powder coating and your video just made my decision easier, thanks!

[@kbsmithgaming9560]

Came out Really Nice GJ!

[@thunderhammer1937]

Calipers look great! Can you post a link where you bought the Brembo decals? Also what grit sand paper did you use?

[@brycegunderson5838]

Did he even use the sand paper???

[@jeffreygraves4120]

Looks good!

[@markgrovenor389]

Thanks for the video, love the new look but what happened between giving the callipers a coat of paint and BANG! finished items are on the car! Almost look like you gave up and bought new callipers!! Would have liked to see the decals being applied. Are the decals made to last through heavy braking, high temps?

[@bigblockkev]

Yeah, unfortunately my camera decided to not record while I was applying the decals. So frustrating. The decals are supposedly able to hold up in high temp conditions. They seemed to be quality vinyl decals. Thanks for watching!

[@danprovost7089]

Looks great! Taking time and care paid off. Since you disconnected the brake line from the caliper, did you have to bleed them after?

[@bigblockkev]

Yeah, I had to bleed them. With a pneumatic bleeder it takes about 10 mins. There are also front and back bleed screws on these Brembo calipers as well.

[@danprovost7089]

Thank you!

[@jeffreyware6223]

Great video !! Did you have to bleed the brakes after?

[@bigblockkev]

Yes, but they are very easy to bleed.

[@Byrd_City]

I’m willing to take my calipers off to paint, but question is, did your brake fluid seep out a lot while painting the calipers?

[@bigblockkev]

No, they didn’t actually. However, I also taped them up pretty good. You should be fine.

[@jona16ify]

Did your leave your break pads in and just tape them off real good? Look amazing btw

[@bigblockkev]

Yeah, just taped them off. Thanks!

[@dontsugarcoat2729]

What color red are those?

[@EduardoJArias]

​@Cosentino Garage bro I'm about to paint my calipers as well, how many can of paint did you use ? U think one will be enough, I have the the same brand tho !! Thanks

[@bigblockkev]

Only used one can

[@FORMULA_376]

Can you show us where you place the jack stands . I always get nervous lifting cars.

[@bigblockkev]

I placed the jack stands under the frame rails. Safest spot to put them.

[@FORMULA_376]

@@bigblockkev I bought some lift pads to put on the pinch welds

[@thebossnocompetition8757]

Huge improvement! but those 18mm bolts for the Calipers did you replace them with new ones? i have read that those must be replaced once removed.

[@bigblockkev]

No, put the original ones back on. Never heard of those bolts going bad after taking them off.

[@elbato713]

Are the calipers painted black or are they just black. I bought some brembos but they are painted silver. Im guessing i have to remove the silver paint first.

[@bigblockkev]

They were factory. Almost looked like a “raw material” like color. They weren’t painted. If yours has paint on them, I would suggest removing the old paint first for longevity of the new paint.

[@taylorshiver3284]

How did the decals hold up with the brake heat?

[@bigblockkev]

Still looking good after 3+ years.

[@sergiocasassalcido9667]

Do you recommend taking calipers off completely to do the paint? Anything special you have to do when it comes to removing the brake line

[@bigblockkev]

I would recommend taking them off completely. It allows you to do a much better job. When removing the brake lines, there's nothing special. Just a bolt and a copper washer that acts as a gasket. Also, by removing the calipers, you'll need to bleed the brakes after installing them back on the car. Hope this helps.

[@raulhurtado1]

@@bigblockkev what do you mean by bleed them after ?? Nice car btw

[@brycegunderson5838]

@@raulhurtado1i have no idea what this means 😆 sadly

[@tonydelacruz2715]

whats the “brembo” sticker size?

[@Niranjanwad]

How much did the Calipers cost you initially? I have a 2021 2LT RS with stock calipers. Any good websites where I can get these brembo calipers at a good price.

[@bigblockkev]

These calipers came already equipped on my 2012 SS. I just reconditioned them to give them a better look. To get this setup can be expensive. You may possibly want to try to get a used set off of eBay to keep it affordable. Otherwise, you will need to sped upwards of $2,000.

[@joaquin8051]

Hey man, what size tires you have on your car????

[@bigblockkev]

315/35/20 on the rears and 275/40/20 up front.

[@TorqueMachine]

Is this better than G2, where its paint and brush instead of spray?

[@bigblockkev]

Yea, this comes out much better than the brush type. The finish is much better.

[@flawdamuscle7135]

A year later, how good have they lasted finish-wise?

[@bigblockkev]

They still look as good as day one. 👍🏼

[@dontsugarcoat2729]

What color red are those ? I have red bremo caliber and it's all scratch up just trying to touch up

[@bigblockkev]

I just used the red caliper paint in a can by Dupli-color. Matched perfect.

[@insanekiller9256]

Did u sand them down?

[@bigblockkev]

Sure did.

[@HellcatM6]

1 year later how did that paint hold up?

[@bigblockkev]

Still looks great! Just as good as day one.

[@erik_radz]

How many cans of paint did you use?

[@bigblockkev]

Only used one can.

[@barrybear2813]

Clean

[@bigblockkev]

Thanks man!

[@carlosopserc8952]

What wheels are those?

[@bigblockkev]

Z/28 replicas from MRR.

[@tonyrpacheco08]

Shouldve sanded, hit it with primer, then paint.
