HOW TO PAINT BRAKE CALIPERS | THE QUICKEST & EASIEST WAY!
Today I show you the absolute quickest and easiest way to paint your brake calipers on your car! This method allows you to paint your brake calipers without removing them from the car!
The C5 Corvette’s brake calipers were gray, crusty, and oxidized looking. This really took away from the looks of the car, as you can see the brake calipers clearly through the wheels. Today we are painting the C5 Corvette brake calipers, and revitalizing its appearance.
Supplies I used:
Caliper Paint; amzn.to/2OMEVZT
Clear-Coat; amzn.to/39kqq8S
Painters Tape; amzn.to/3eTdNTq
Brake Cleaner; amzn.to/32M5si7
Metal Brush's; amzn.to/3eTNBYX
Metal Brush for Drill; amzn.to/2ZULlwh
Acetone Cleaner; amzn.to/3hrd8u8
Trash Bags; amzn.to/2WMiRTC

@davidlouiso9650 7 ай бұрын

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.

@unprofessionalmechanic8466 Ай бұрын

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.

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.
