Waiting for parts from Germany. 1.5 years later you figure out how, now you think you have all parts you want, how you will go about the Job... And wait for right time...life with project cars. :)

Great vid, Chris. If you paint your calipers a bright color like blue or red, it's best to paint them silver first. Makes the color pop and uses much less coats of actual color.

@Fisheee123 7 месяцев назад

I just started working on my own vehicles, but wire brushes for drills is a nice time saver! $10-20 for a variety of shapes...

Those tight corners will need some TLC but that should save you a great deal of time working those larger areas.

Powder coating uses high temp oven and all rubbers need to be removed from the calipers before they go in the oven 😭 I guess i have to do it your way 😉

@MrCbell57 5 лет назад

Great tips, thanks Chris. I recommend acetone as a wash myself. And as these calipers get real hot,, you want to use always, a high heat paint as Chris does here. And if you want it to shine and last longer...Use a high heat Clear Coat. Or else it will not hold up over time. Unless you believe that a long time is one year. Rattle can paints = Some are okay. Some are not so okay to use in this application. Great video instructional. I paint my chevy car calipers Fire Engine RED, and put logos on them, then clear coat over the logo. Looks PRO>

@tSp289 4 года назад

Tip if you're taking them off entirely like I did (to sandblast them and get old chipped paint off): use polymorph to fill in all the threads and holes you want to mask. It's a kind of plastic that melts clear in boiling water, can be molded and squeezed into place then cools and hardens white. Squeeze some into threads, and pinch a tag at the top so you've got something to grab later. Now your sandblaster won't damage anything!

Great DIY, but I’d recommend one more step below. I used this to re-do calipers on an old but great condition car of mine. I had removed them to rebuild since the parts are closing in on 40 years. That Rust Oleum high temp paint is a great choice, especially because of the matte color. What I did after cleaning and scrubbing was to use ospho. This product (you can link from amazon if you wish) converts surface rust and better prepares for paint adhesion. The end result is a better bond and longer, better rust resistance in the long run. Great video!!

How does this kid end up with 10,000,000 views for this? If I shot a video of "How to pour a bowl of cereal", do you think that would get as many views?

@rockymountboy 8 лет назад

You can use petroleum jelly to cover any parts where tape won't work, such as the bleeder valve or the piston rubber inside the caliper. wipes off easily after you're done.

@lukeisaac7710 8 лет назад

Or bluetac. U can get it into every little nook and cranny and just pull it off after you've painted it

@1979mackdriver 4 года назад

Remember to do this when you buy new calipers . easier to bench disassemble and paint before final installation.

@pinut187 4 года назад

1979mackdriver or buy upgraded ones that come painted already.

@1979mackdriver 4 года назад

pinut187 Correct , Thats the best way . I worked for Plymouth for over 35 years , I started off at the Old North Assembly and I’m partial to factory applied finishes , I’m not saying that you can’t do a good job in a shop and you certainly can monitor your own quality control . But you can’t compare to the resources we had in the Assembly and the conditions we paint under .
