HOW TO PAINT BRAKE CALIPERS | THE QUICKEST & EASIEST WAY! | DriveHub

[@DriveHub]

RELAX PEOPLE THE OVERSPRAY ON THE DRIVEWAY CAME OFF AFTER THE FIRST RAINSTORM 🤗🙄

[@markcooper9269]

Your luck is better than mine with overspray....🤣🤣 I jacked up half the stuff in my shop with some red one time....lesson learned....!😁

[@Dj_Ganty]

So glad to hear this good sir, great job and stunning cars you have👍🏼 big love from🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@jackyau7276]

This is the most proper way of spraying the caliper, shows all the details of masking step. thanks for the video

[@johnnycook2384]

Excellent attention to detail and excellent presentation skills! You’ve given me the inspiration to refinish mine. Thanks.

New c5 z06 owner from sweden👍🏻 keep up the good content😇

[@aacar4095]

Looks good. I would just spend the extra 5 minutes to remove the calipers, remove the rotor and brake pads, put the capers back on loosely, then paint.

[@indyguy5570]

Exactly what I did and much quicker and cleaner look than taping it all up. I never understood why people don't remove the 4 bolts which also makes it easier to get full coverage with painting stuff you don't want paint on.

[@theshadetreemechanic6751]

I did the same razor blade trick when I painted my calipers blue. The yellow looks awesome!!!

[@karstuff2739]

Hows the paint job holding up?

[@TheStevedie]

I've been wanting to paint mine for roughly 2 years. I have been waiting until i need new pads and rotors, which i've needed badly for a year lol. I finally got the ambition to paint them and do the brakes.

[@McKav]

This is great. Didn't want to take the calipers off & using a wire brush on a drill is excellent thanx 👍

[@gapo62angler93]

Title should’ve been “How to paint brake calipers and driveway 😂🍻

[@Papson45]

Hahah I noticed it as I read your comment 😂

[@gregsantos9731]

Wow! Much easier but neatly done. Wow!

[@joschillaci9290]

Super helpful. I noticed you didn't prime, did it hold up?

[@thevettboy]

Looking good - C5 owner from California.

[@jse684747]

great video. i like that you did all four at the same time. how long did it take to do all four calipers at the same time.

[@davidlouiso9650]

Quick tip. If you want to keep your “Corvette” ( or any lettering) a different color, spray that first. Allow it to fully dry. Then Spray your main color on. Before the main color dries all the way, take a rag with enamel reducer or thinner on a small area, like finger tip size, and scrub off the main color revealing the lettered color. Then spray your clear over the top of it all.

[@michaelzernie7092]

Good video dude. I'll be using this method. Much appreciated. 😁👍

[@cmongimme]

Best caliper paint video I've seen

[@jimgordon3468]

I have a burgundy 2001 c5 convertible with yellow calipers. Chrome 5 star wheels. It looks amazing. Great choice on the color bro.

[@tiburciofelipe8680]

I like the color choice alot with that paint

[@benjamindelannee3501]

They look cool just sanded

[@icurt06]

What did your Dad say about all the over spray that was left on the driveway?

[@pjwilkinson83]

That is what I want to know. Son you have a new job. Its called painting the driveway black again. LOL

[@junito1008]

😂🤣

[@ryanbrown6560]

I do the dirty stuff at your moms house 🤪 Btw this was not directed at you or anyone else so we don't have to fight about it

[@paulwallace9644]

after paint is dry use 100 grit paper on a small piece of wood to lightly sand corvette letters

[@andyl9920]

Any baking? Take it for a spin to bake paint? Or just let it sit overnight?

[@davecomstock4023]

Just stumbled across your video, SUPER helpful as I'm looking to do this on my car. Question, why did you choose to spray the paint on instead of using a brush? Is spraying considered the more superior method? Thx!

[@jeancassel]

Yes, it provides an even paint finish than brushing.

[@NITE_SHIFTING]

Great vid. How long did you wait before driving? Drying time?

[@jeremygriggs1513]

1 hour to dry to touch and id wait atleast 3 hours to drive on them so 1 hour to put wheel back on and 3 hours till you can drive

[@dinocitozi9216]

another video said 24 hours to wait as that is what the paint was advising

[@liljune8209]

Do the prep work (sanding) need to be done with brand new calipers

[@markfurchtenicht2182]

Nice job but I'm with icurt06. What about that driveway?

How many spray can you use for 4 caliper ?

No primer before painting?

No primer necessary?

You can speed up the process with a heat gun at low temp to quickly dry

[@Cyco-Dude]

hmm...no primer on the bare metal?

[@zonadelocos]

Its been 2 yrs since you post this videos how is the paint on your calipers right now??

enjoying that yellow driveway still?

[@That_Guy_Izzy]

That came out awsome!!!

[@RangerDanger074x4]

They look awesome!! Nice job man. Black wheels ?!

[@FordManiac76]

The VHT brake paint is good paint but I was surprised how easily it chipped. Like he said you need to clear coat it!

[@markaustin9544]

Video was a year ago, so how did this technique hold up ??? Using the VHT paint. Or you sold the car and don't know.

[@alexanderweller6509]

How many cans did you end up using?

[@theodoreesawjr.8352]

Fabulous!!!

[@ronrussell1077]

Nice job!

[@danshiu5436]

Great video thanks

[@MrBarcodeMan]

Do you need primer for VHT caliper paint?

[@brycegunderson5838]

Yea that’s what I’m wondering

[@mariocullotta4188]

The calipers look awesome 👏

[@tyebuck76]

Great video... so you dont need a primer

[@mariovo5]

Primer is what you need first

[@paulwallace9644]

you should use a primer so the paint will stick better

[@davidblizzy9725]

No primer?

[@BrayZap]

Does that stuff stain your driveway??

[@sanmiguel4019]

Looks like it!!!

[@tobaccojohn9664]

Black or silver paint right over the yellow paint for the Corvette wording would have been easier. Qtip for painting

[@vice4134]

I would prefer powder coating cuz it would last much longer. To save money, you can build your own heating oven instead of sending it to the professionals.

[@JusticeAndLibertyUSA]

sweet boots

[@Fatbodypyle]

Hey mister. You're getting spray paint all over your dads driveway !

[@uscstaylor]

You get a thumbs up just for the hat...

[@haydenpennington]

could you just skip the paint and just clear coat the calipers?

[@ronaldgideon9524]

Definitely wear a mask unless you love the pain of headaches. You thank this comment later.

[@skulking17]

If you want to paint your calipers but don't know how to remove them it might be time to learn.

[@jeremygriggs1513]

Or you just don't want to lol I've done mine and just left them on didn't want to bother with having to hang the lines up or bleed my lines so its worth it in that aspect

[@Knowledgexxxx]

Where is prime dude

[@vitran1153]

No primer needed??

[@unprofessionalmechanic8466]

Also the quickest and easiest way all of that will deteriorate and come off. If you the "do it right, do it once" kind of person, take your calipers off and take them to be powder coated. There are certain rules in every industry and they are there for a reason. Brake calipers and rims > powder coat NOT spray paint.

[@SuperMechguy]

Hey man I managed to fix your audio so the hissing is gone and made it stereo. Hit me up if you want to see it

[@DriveHub]

Hey man how’d you fix it?

[@SuperMechguy]

@@DriveHub Audacity helped it out . It's not 100% perfect but sounds better here's a sample..kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHTLgJqOlp6qnpY

[@DriveHub]

@@SuperMechguy That does sound much better wow! What exactly is Audacity?

[@SuperMechguy]

@@DriveHub it's an audio editing program that's very versatile.

[@BGRForgedWheels]

No! Hell, NO! Spray high heat primer before base coat.

[@ericperez2173]

I agree 100% if you want them to last a long time high heat primer before putting on the base coat is the way to go

[@vixprops1261]

Would have been better to take the caliper off... but looks great non the less

[@jeremygriggs1513]

Ya but if you don't want to deal with having to bleed lines or worry about lines being pinched its worth it

[@gapo62angler93]

And cover the driveway 😂😂😂

[@danshiu5436]

I did mine similar but forgot to clear coat

[@FordManiac76]

Clear is a must! I found the VHT brake paint chipped very easy!

[@Chimp_Assassin]

Isn't it like two bolts, just take them off.

[@h2rfl105]

Yes but you have to bleed the brake fluid

[@Chimp_Assassin]

@@h2rfl105 only if you disconnect the brake line.

[@h2rfl105]

@@Chimp_Assassin you’re going to have to disconnect the line you want to remove them lol.

[@Chimp_Assassin]

@@h2rfl105 No, you can just unbolt them and move them around, just hang them in the wheel arch, much easier to spray properly.

[@tylerguarino5359]

You owe dad some seal coat

[@sysdjdhdhkvsuhvskj]

Is it just me or does this look kinda orange more than bring yellow…

[@skeelo69]

Wonder if he uses the other hub😆😆😆

[@insu3]

Well, tbh... i'd rather get knowledge how to take calipers off (WAY less time needed) xD Anyway... nice.. uhm.. protection.

[@beaubrummelmotorizedbicycles]

Pretty good job, but why do such a meticulous job of masking for overspray and then overspray your driveway. Put a drop down on the driveway. After 35 years of professional painting, believe me overspray and tracking wet paint is a no no. Don't do it.

[@dallasborn8574]

Cover the driveway!

[@FishMD]

U painted the ground

[@85square]

Gloves and mask? that's not extra protection, everyone I see at the store is wearing that.

[@TheJsmith49]

Pro tip: Don’t attempt this IF you can not successfully removed from brake disc.

[@Myself69546]

All the money invested on that 6 cylinder challenger u could've invest it on a scatpack 😢😢

[@mskinetik]

Dude, you need new rotors, they are rusty AF and old! If you're going to show people tutorials, show them the right way. What's the point in making the calipers pretty if you aren't properly maintaining your vehicle. Plus, teaching people that over spray is ok is wack.

[@onelove345]

Too much time into that just buy the covers!

[@jeremygriggs1513]

Honestly you can skip alot of it including clear if you don't mind having to redo it in a couple years
