HOW TO PAINT BRAKE CALIPERS | THE EASY WAY?
Today I show you an easy way to paint your brake calipers at home. This method allows you to paint your brake calipers without removing them from the car!
The black S4 calipers just didn't work with the new wheels. This really took away from the looks of the car. I painted my calipers with the G2 Brake Caliper Paint System. See the final results in the video AND watch until the end for a sneak peek at my next video!

I was the guy that gave you a hard time about the chrome, IT WAS MEEEEEE. I'm sure you knew then but, I was just busting your chops haha, I love all S4's! Can't wait to see the transformation though, will look badass!!!

@@midlifemods HaHA AGREED! Hey if you are looking for silly mods paddle shifters are a good blind buy i bought some off eBay for 170 they are on my page in a shorts video not bad at all. I have the same front splitter!

@@OneslowS4I’ve been thinking about paddle shifters! Maybe some day after a new flat bottom wheel.

The G2 Brake Caliper Paint System works better on unpainted calipers. Looked great on my old A4 and I had plenty of paint left. Maybe a darker color would have covered the black OEM better?

@midlifemods Ай бұрын

Yeah, I think you're right. It's really made for unpainted metal.

Thank you for posting these videos. I have the same car as you and am sort of updating and modding with you as you go along. Gives me a lot of confidence to have you blaze the trail first. I don't know if you will see this but I have a couple questions I was hoping you could answer: 1. Do you have a list of all your mods I can take a look at? 2. Can you tell me where you are getting your cosmetic mods? There is a sea of varying quality plastic out there, would love some guidance on things like the front grill. Thank you in advance and I look forward to the next video!

Hey Charles! Thanks for the support. I'm happy to blaze the trail for you! :) Are you on Instagram? It might be easier for us to chat there. I'm TheMidlifeMods on Instagram. If not, I can figure out some other way of getting you the list.

@andrewburke612 Ай бұрын

Maybe primer on the calipers would have helped? Why don't people remove the caliper and spray them instead of hand painting? Looks good though.

@midlifemods Ай бұрын

A lot of people do. This is the lazy way for sure.

@andrewburke612 Ай бұрын

@@midlifemods does that paint say you don’t need primer?

@midlifemods Ай бұрын

It is supposed to be an all in one kit. No need for primer. I think it's really best for metal calipers without paint. My calipers already had glossy lacquer on them so this probably wasn't the best choice. But hey, it was worth the experiment. And I think it actually looks really good from standing next to the car.

I also put on 4 coats and it still didn't cover completely . Expensive small can of paint! I received a full refund from G2 after 2 emails to them complaining that their product didn't work as advertised.

@midlifemods Ай бұрын

I’m sorry to hear that. What was your final solution for paint?

@jeffengel5339 Ай бұрын

@@midlifemods I just left it with the 4 coats on. From 10 ft away it looks decent, up close it look so-so. You can see areas where it is not fully covered. For $70 I expected a better result. After telling me that I must have done something wrong, G2 finally agreed to give me a refund and would look into the product.

I’m sorry man.
