How to Paint Brake Calipers in the CLEANEST and EASIEST Way! (Brush On)

[@romagrigorenko]

YES, I painted the back of my brake pads guys, glad everyone noticed :) replacing brake pads soon anyway Here's were you can buy this kit: Black: amzn.to/2LiZdt3 Red: amzn.to/2LspILc Blue: amzn.to/2NL25R2 Yellow: amzn.to/2LhTt2I Purple: amzn.to/2MQprVC Green: amzn.to/2UpmSej Pink: amzn.to/34eJEtD Orange: amzn.to/2LiZtIx Silver: amzn.to/2PDmk5B All other colors: amzn.to/2PDmk5B

[@rcole42000]

How is the color holding after a few months?

[@romagrigorenko]

Ryan Cole holding up well. No issues

[@rsuvajac]

Do you know where can i buy this for Europe?

[@richardburns9772]

Nope.

[@nathanmciver6496]

Thanks pimp! I love ordering from amazon! And wanted the quality of paint that you had! This will work out awesome!!!!!! Was just talking to a friend about this the other day

[@z512345]

Roman, just a tip, you could have used chap stick on the Corvette letters . the paint would not stick to it then after drying you could wipe it off. Worked for me.

[@chrisgraham2904]

So many different videos for spray painting calipers, whether people mask to spray paint in place or they completely remove them to bench paint them. Nice to see someone making a kit to brush paint them. I have 3/4 of a gallon of Fire Engine Red of Tremclad Rust-0-leum rust paint, which is the real oil based paint, before Tremclad switched to "oil technology" paint. I painted the calipers two years ago. Cleaned them with brake cleaner, wire brushed them with a rotary wire brush on a drill, cleaned with brake cleaner again and applied paint with two sizes of artist's brushes. The old oil paint, brushes smooth with a good brush, applies thick and levels without any brush strokes. Little to no masking and no over spray issues. Two coats of paint and then top coated with 2X thick exterior polyurethane clear coat. I took one day to paint the front calipers and a second day to do the rear, helping the drying period along with a heat gun. Although the paint and clear coat have no heat ratings, there have been no issues what-so-ever. Two years later and still looking like the day they were painted. After all, they are just calipers and you get a flashing peek at them through the wheel spokes.

[@kmlumd44]

The BRIGHTNESS of the caliper is what made me remember this video and see it repeatedly and KNOW that I need to come back to this some day.

[@edchat3]

Did mine with the same paint, same color almost 2 years ago, and they still look great!

[@charleshenson4183]

What color is it? I'm trying to find what hawkins blue looks like in the real world.

[@akeofalltrades]

This paint is awesome. I did mine 10 years ago in red and still no flaking or dulling.

[@TheOfficialSheriffBrown]

Did you bake?

[@akeofalltrades]

Redd Brown Nope. Just brush painted on after prep. Followed directions exactly.

[@michaelmcpoet1]

Looks amazing. Big Corvette Fan here from the UK.

[@vitix5906]

You need to pay your assistant far more than what you originally negotiated for. Hes INVALUABLE!!! :)

[@aacar4095]

Nice video. It's really pretty easy to take off the calipers and rotors (just 2 bolts), then just put the calipers back on lightly with the bolts and paint them with no worries of the pads (I think it's kind of goofy to paint the pads...my opinion) and no worries of painting the rotors. Literally it's just two bolts and you can remove the calipers and rotors.

[@deedolan399]

This actually looks better than all the other videos that spray painted.

[@cookiesareincenteroftheuni6971]

[@alanf5351]

G2 caliper paint is awesome. Also excellent customer service from G2 when I contacted them once. Do proper prep and it’s very easy to paint. Once I go around and do the first coat for all for brakes, I can immediately start again for second and third and maybe forth coat on 1-2 brakes until I use up the small can. It usually only chips if you drive on gravel roads. Very durable and very easy to apply after prep (cleaning).

[@MrDannyZ123]

Wow finally an honest straight up easy to watch video, thanks brother

[@eastwood2414]

I was thinking the same thing!! All the others are way too technical for a simple job. Lol

[@omarcaban9917]

SHARP!!! LIKE THAT BLUE ON THE BLACK

[@garrymcguire6936]

The blue looks great next to the black. Lovely car.

[@brettkramer]

This is exactly the video I was looking for. Keeping it simple but looking great. Thanks

[@jorgeuribe7657]

I was thinking the same, nice and simple.

[@BrianJKelly3244]

Turned out really well! I was hoping you were going to hit the letters with a white paint and then clear and dry, but I’m really impressed with the color and ease with which you were able to change colors! I have red calipers, but I’d think I’d prefer blue as well! Great job! Thanks

[@geneknight5194]

When I painted mine I pulled the caliper off the brackets no paint on the pads. I changed the pads while. It was disconnected. Before the paint cured I took a q-tip dipped in paint thinner and cleaned off the lettering. You and also use nail polish remover if it has not cured out.

[@jonl8509]

I used (red) engine paint for my calipers. I painted it on (2 coats) with art brush similar to the one used in the video. It does not dry too quickly, so leaves a nice smooth finish. It looks great and has lasted very well.

[@gtmnicko]

Going to try it this weekend

[@Masterchief68]

I’ve used this G2system to recently paint the calipers on my Pontiac Solstice! It was amazingly easy and I’m 75 , arthritic, have had three shoulder surgeries and three back surgeries! Seriously I wasn’t sure about removing and reinstalling the tires but it wasn’t that bad and the calipers look great! Ps. It’s up to $79 now.

[@robertwhatley9078]

You definitely had some good help taking the wheels off, too cute 😅

[@romagrigorenko]

Haha ikr, thanks! 😁

[@patrickkillilea5225]

I used this Kit and It worked great. Highly recommend. I took mine all apart to clean and paint.

[@patrickkillilea5225]

@Sica Rug I did this job on my 350Z. It got new rotors, pads, SS brake lines... So, painted the calipers this same blue.Took them all apart, and about half the day with the wire wheel, WD40, and 2 cans of brake cleaner, etc. They looked so nice, I almost did not paint them. LOL.

[@patrickkillilea5225]

@Sica Rug Well, I just painted them a few days ago, and put maybe 100 miles on them. I don't know for sure, how long it will hold up... but I think it is going to be good. The two part paint, went on really nice. Seems like the correct product to do this job. The brush they give you worked fine. I like this better than spray paint... with no additive. I think it is a kick ass system. I put on new rotors, pads, brake lines, HT fluid, pretty happy with it all. I've been shopping for brake kits too. Unless you spend the big dollars, I think this is a good way to go.

[@angelsoftheseventhdawn]

@Joe Bidens Leg Hair I guess the issue with painting the back of the pads is the heat?

[@anthonycaldi7056]

Dude that looks great! When I came across this video about brushing the paint on never thought it would work. Looks great!

[@HDLifter]

Thanks! This gives me so much confidence when my blue paint kit arrives next week.

[@Coa_Kralj_Coa_The_King]

This is good method!!! painting like this with the brush, not with spray! Cause with spray you can spread paint everywhere! Well done! Thank you for sharing

[@15DurangoRT]

Those calipers look great dude! Nice job!

[@gtigio5067]

I bought the same paint kit awhile go but didn’t get around to doing it. Now that I’m dying of boredom with this quarantine, I’ve got something to do, great video!

[@esaino211]

Fearless Ghost same here. I bought the same kit one year ago. It has 24 month shelf life so I better start this project.

[@starburst2007]

Thanks for sharing this way easier method than most others. Best Regards.

[@gregcy89]

Much better than spraying! Less messy...

[@iliketowatchthis]

I used this paint system on one of my cars last year. I put white stickers over the same blue paint you used. They still looked perfect after a whole year, and the white stickers still looked bright white as well. This is an awesome paint system. I did this on an Audi A8, and before I painted I did a little sanding on my calipers to smooth some coarse casting edges. Just something to think about depending on how the factory finish is on your cars calipers. Just that modification got me a lot of compliments and people asking me if that was a factory option on the car.

[@Anirudh679173]

I am inspired by this video now!

[@GT_Racer347]

Well damn, I just bought a regular spray paint kit and now I see this video!? I may end up regretting it! This is badass. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@enfield7123]

This looks brilliant I put some break caliper covers made of plastic 😱 big reget... so now waching this video I going to paint mine ..what you don is a brilliant job 👍🇬🇧

[@enfield7123]

@LactoseTheIntolerant I got my calipers painted and did what you advised on video I really pleased with them thanks for the advice will keep waching 👍🇬🇧

[@mindright9771]

This is exactly what I wanted to do on my older Dodge RAM pickup. Looks nice without all the mess of spraying. Excellent job! Aloha. =)

[@MURD3R3D]

Good video, thank you for making it and helping us all out so we can see how easy it is to do!

[@spyder2001]

i bought this set after watching your video. Great job. looking forward to the weather improving so i can get on with it!! got some brake caliper decals too

[@EzBible]

I didn't see this video. I was going to make my own but just did all 4 calipers without the camera. It is true. Using hi-temp engine enamel with a parts brush worked great. I had to buy a spray can. Use gloves. Sprayed the paint into a jar and brushed on from there. Easy as can be and the paint flows out perfectly. It was in the upper 60's out of direct sun. 3 light coats and a 4th touch up coat. A little taping off to avoid any spots you don't want paint. Takes about an hour a caliper.

[@palugga]

That Corvete it's just amazing 😁

[@Japanvideography]

It seems to be very easy to do, so it will be helpful. Thanks for uploading the video!

[@robqcmccullum8797]

Nice job looks pretty straight forward and like you said it's not messy.

[@rondoe8364]

I purchased this about two months ago seen your video just can’t wait to do it now

[@eastwood2414]

Awesome! Vid. Was debating if I should pay to have mine painted, but after seeing this I’m going to put in the work myself and save some money. Labor of luv.

[@HDLifter]

Thanks! I'll be trying this project on my RX8 this weekend. Ironically I bought blue paint too. (Offsets my silver car)

[@lazyoldman9355]

Just ordered some for mine in black, thank you for the heads up!

[@bigrobchavis5704]

Thank you Bro for sharing this info..!! I'm going to give it a try on my ride..sorry but I'm going too use the same color!! lol

[@MP-tp8pt]

This was simple i like how you painted the front and back. I havent seen a video where anyone takes the caliper off and paint it. Nice...

[@713Meaness]

Looks great man... months later, how has the paint held up? Thanks!

[@midnitebo]

I used that on my front calipers years ago...it was great stuff. It hides very well on just one coat (although I did two). It lasted for years, and the only reason it wore off was because of rust coming through from underneath (not the paint's fault). I've hosed my calipers with brake cleaner dozens of times since putting on that G2, and it never even bothered it one bit. And we know brake cleaner is some of the strongest solvent out there. I'd definitely recommend this paint. Even though I prepped my calipers by disassembling off the car and using a wire wheel, I think it would be most ideal to use this paint on either new or sandblasted calipers. You just can't get all the rust off by hand...in a few years it will start to come through.

[@wg5768]

Great job and easy also. I noticed that you buffed the inside of your rotors to remove the rust that builds up. Put rust oxidizer on them. It will turn them flat black and they will not rust again.

[@hitop2365]

I’ve just watched 2 calliper painting vids, neither painter turned the steering wheel to improve front access

[@juelz4516]

😂

[@hondamanvtec2894]

He really needed to improve that front acsess 😮😮😮 😂😂😂

[@GarreTTTurncoaT]

They’re practicing for the back where they can’t turn wheel for better access lol

[@rbell7666]

Damn, that looks nice. I am going to do a brake job-I think I'll paint them while they are swung up. Well done!

[@shepardw4981]

Looks like a good kid and Easy by agree with some of the other people you shouldn't have painted the brake pad and some of the cables. it do well with the heat or has it started flicking off yet

[@hellyanig5979]

Best video I’ve seen

[@chrisreynolds721]

Thanks for the great vid. I have a blue truck and bought the blue G2 to go under my black wheels. I was not sure if there would be enough from reviews where i bought the paint from so again thanks for the vid and the confidence i will have enough paint to get the job done... great looking corvette too ...

[@jonscoupe]

Great job. Thanks for this. Given me confidence to paint mine over here in the UK.

[@JPGinge98]

Need to do ours soon 😂🚗🇬🇧

[@jukezauxe]

so cute lil man helping u out

[@ielfyea]

Hi Roman, nice job! I would definitely take caliper out and put a bag on the rest to prevent paint where not necessary and some tape on the rubber parts of the caliper

[@CHIBA280CRV]

Fantastic job , will look into that paint..thanks and the corvette is crazy cool .

[@michaeltatham4307]

I'm just in the beginning stages of doing mine on the Audi A6. I painted the center of the rotors first.

[@byronarce2903]

awesome! you so Idea very smartest....i got it thank you so much. i learn now

[@unprofessionalmechanic8466]

Hi, I see this video from 2019, can you please post a pic how that paint held up over time? Also, I think, it would be very beneficial to take caliper and bracket off. 4 screws, 5-10 minutes but that would allow you much better chance to clean and prep.

[@iBizSO]

Thanks man, that's what I needed. I thought about doing spray, but it look a bit complicated to do that. With this link you provided for the color, and what you showed, look a lot easier to deal with. SO, I'm going to try this out instead. Thanks again for showing a bit of tutorial on this.

[@VICD505]

Great video man, thank you

[@oldemarmorales2946]

Recommendation for painting Chevy Colorado Lt 2022 caliper please

[@rachaelcourtney1980]

Awesome!!!!! Cant wait to get on this

[@Junior48210]

Thanks for the video !

[@DASell-uz6xg]

Now that it’s a year later, does it still look good? I’m thinking of doing the same, unsure on how I want to go about it. That didn’t look bad at all as far as technique.

It looks cool in blue.

[@romagrigorenko]

Lucas Martínez Parra thanks bro

@@romagrigorenko You're welcome. What's your next car project?

[@romagrigorenko]

Lucas Martínez Parra not sure yet. Might share a bmw build my cousin is doing but as for me, I’ll probably enjoy this car until spring comes and will go from there. Can’t really afford more interesting builds at the moment tbh

@@romagrigorenko Alright.

[@rjmprod]

Dude, that looked sick…! Good luck..

[@rigjockey67]

little suggestion .... take some sandpaper and sand off the Corvette raised letters on each .. it will stand out so well ... in my opinion anyway :)

[@monlegaspi]

Then spray with clear gloss for protection ang longevity 👍🏻

[@davidhovik7176]

Clean and simple thanks for the video.

[@chrisrobinson6486]

Damm..that's looks good bro...very nice..

[@dmack9590]

[@bobjohnson8206]

Nice video, thanks for posting it. I f I was doing it I would not have painted the brake pads, and I would have masked off the Corvette lettering, painting that white or black.

[@unclerogelio3636]

Way better than spraypainting .Good job sir !

[@MrTheHillfolk]

Spray cans suck, I'm tired of crappy nozzles. I'll bust em open and put it in a small detail gun because the finish is so much better for the parts that need that kinda detail. Cheap 35$ husky detail gun does wonders.

[@NOTAMV]

I like how all the super fancy expensive caliper paints advertise their high temperature specs, when I painted them with off the shelf 10 bucks Hammerite and it still looks brand new after 4 years.

[@Carlos.Rivera]

Probably was the product(s) you use for cleaning it... also brake dust is the most corrosive on paint surfaces

[@japanluv]

Same here:)) I mean I bought Hammerite in gold colour from a DIY shop in the UK. Waiting for the good weather to come soon but changed car meanwhile:)) Suggestions? Got an arctic blue Mitsu Outlander PHEV 2014, now. Might work with gold callipers but I might paint the wheels in dark grey for a bit of contrast ( dont want them black).

[@JOSEF_GAMING45]

Thank you for leaving the link

[@richardfabrizio8998]

Beautiful. Thanks

[@thehegt]

I did the same , I went to advance auto part bought the spray caliper paint and use the brush to paint it I didn’t directly spray it on I used brush to apply the paint and it’s dry very fast

[@wulfclaw4921]

Definately the best method. Looks Great ! I saw you had help though, good thing he was there for you, huh ?🤣 Good instructional, man ! Thanks ! Wulfy

[@marcschweiz]

The corvette lettering should be white to make it pop

[@jorgeuribe7657]

Nicely done, any specific brush or could be anyone?

[@spaghetti941]

Looks great. Soz to be a negative Nancy but 1. You painted your brake pads as well lol, not sure if you realized. 2. You only sprayed down the calipers and wiped them? Brake dust will be caked on there, simply wiping it with brake cleaner will only do half of what's there. Curious how long it will last. I'm about to do mine, it even came with a wire brush. Mines a different brand. But still for the past few hours I've been scrubbing then with brake cleaner and a wire brush. It's pretty clean now but it still could be cleaner. Some spots are still dirty even after 5 or so passes on them.

[@maproductions8495]

How did it held up?

[@rodneymathis7242]

Looks great 👍

So i can only fit on side of the car in the garage at a time do you think it would be ok to do the front then turn the car around do the back then leave it in the driveway for a day
