In today's video I'll be showing you some tips and tricks when it comes to painting brake calipers 'at home' along with the help of Hamzah from Caliper Refurb Manchester. The original colour of my calipers on my Mercedes C43 AMG was silver/grey...subtle and understated but just not quite bold enough for my liking!
My previous CLA 45 AMG had red calipers so I thought I'd do something a bit different and go with yellow - what do you think of the result?! Personally I love them and now I can pretend I'm Bruce Wayne each morning. Ha ha.
If you'd like your own calipers doing and are based in the North West, hit up Hamzah on Instagram: / caliper.refurb.mcr
And quote ZH Cars for a 10% discount off a full set of painted calipers.

What do we think of the colour choice?! Am I Batman yet? Would you have gone with a different option? If you want your own calipers done check out instagram.com/caliper.refurb.mcr/ and quote ZH Cars for 10% off.

Looks great. But why remove the tape and plastic bag before spraying the lacquer. That’s so weird considering there’s moving and sliding parts inside the calipers.

I absolutely agree to that!

Looks good but i think burnt copper colour would have looked better and more "classy" Also if you get 4 axle stands you can raise the entire car up, remove all 4 wheels, prepare all 4 bakes and after you painted 1 brake jump up to the next and so on that way when you're back on the firstt it should be dried up. Save alot of time.

does anyone know which yellow color & spray brand did he use? & also am curious on which primer he used ? Thank you 🙏🏽

How did you get the rear callipers so smooth? I just had mine done and my rears are quite rough looking? Did you brush them or sand them down or just use a lot of coats?

@clydeking4265 3 жыл бұрын

the primer used, was that a direct to metal primer? or was a metal prep wipe used , but not shown? just wondering

Great job mate! What yellow primer and paint did you use?

Great video! I just painted mine. When can I wash the car again? Do I need to wait a certain amount of time before the calipers can get washed w/ a pressure washer? Is wheel cleaner safe to put on like normal or should that be avoided all together? Thanks!

Looks nice, but who gets to remove the overspray from the wheel wells & brick pavers?

@aacar4095 Жыл бұрын

Nice job. It's so easy to just take the calipers, pads, and rotors off, put just the caliper on, then spray the calipers ;-). Way less taping and masking.

Looks like he did a decent job. Not sure why DIY is a bad thing, earlier comment??? I would have probably put some cardboard on the block paving though, you could have ended up with the yellow brick road 😁
