New brake calipers and rotors look great on any car… until the weather causes them to rust.
Today I’m going to paint my TSX’s new calipers and rotors before installing them, to keep them looking as good as new.
I used VHT High Temperature Header Primer and Brake Paint, both designed to withstand the heat produced by brakes.
6 month after winter update: • Painted Rear Calipers ...
VHT Silver Caliper Paint: amzn.to/3q6GYrH
VHT High Heat Primer: amzn.to/3e46lIw
Duplicolor Prep Spray: amzn.to/2MKD7TM
Since making this video, I have found great Clear coat options:
Spraymax 2k Gloss: amzn.to/43KbyMK
Duplicolor 1K Gloss: amzn.to/3UKXheM
Duplicolor 1K Matte: amzn.to/3A5i6rY

I just spotted no fewer than 17 operations known to the state of California to cause cancer! LOL. They look good. I need to redo mine on the Miata one of these days, soon!

Hey, how does the paint hold up to brake cleaner and vrake dust?

@6thGearGarage Год назад

Brake dust is no problem but I am unsure about brake cleaner, as I never tested that. Here's how these looked after an Ohio winter: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zXIrBxzQ51w.html

@vincentdrago6022 3 года назад

Do you need to put clear coat after the paint ?

@6thGearGarage 3 года назад

I did not but you could. Just use a high heat clear coat.

@chimrichalds982 4 года назад

how did it hold up over the winter?

@6thGearGarage 4 года назад

Not perfect, but could have been a lot worse. I'm going to do an update video when I swap over to summer wheels here soon.

@Revelation13-8 Месяц назад

Shouldn't u also have removed the rust on the disk behind before u mounted it ? wont that rust attack the fixed part right away if not ?

@6thGearGarage Месяц назад

No, cleaning the hub is not needed, as these always have some surface rust. Here is how they looked after 6 months of winter: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zXIrBxzQ51w.html

@@6thGearGarage Looks ok , i dont get why customers dont demand rust free parts for their cars and why they are not produced tho....

@@Revelation13-8 here in Ohio, everything rusts because of road salt. Sadly, it’s the norm around here.

@JimsEquipmentShed 4 года назад

I will be interested to see how this holds up, 'for I too, live in the rust belt......

@6thGearGarage 4 года назад

Me too, it may be a complete waste of time. But at least it's my time and not yours! It's been a few weeks and no rust yet with driving in rain... but winter will be the real test.

@JimsEquipmentShed 4 года назад

6th Gear Garage Eh, it’s never really a wast of time. If it doesn’t work, you have an experience to pass on and save someone else . And if it does work, one less thing to deal with next year. it’s a win-win.

@miezu2 3 года назад

it actually did hold ok.

@tsoukallos 3 года назад

Save yourself the aggravation. Mine began rusting after about a year. WASTE of time and $.

@pure555 3 года назад

Can you paint the calipers while on the car and still tape up i think its called the piston...or is it better to remove them like you did

@6thGearGarage 3 года назад

You can do it that way, but I prefer to remove the calipers to clean them better and get better paint coverage. But if you're not replacing them already, that's a lot of extra work. Dupli-color make a brush-on caliper paint kit which works well if the calipers are still on the car.

@pure555 3 года назад

@@6thGearGarage yeh exactly. I mean theyre still good so no replacement yet. Ive only seen videos with spray paint so i didnt realize there was a brush for them too. Its definitely a more controlled application of the paint

@6thGearGarage 3 года назад

@@pure555 I did the Duplicolor brush on caliper paint on my 85 Toyota and it has held up great.

@fbm7139 Год назад

Wouldn’t the holes and slots rust since they weren’t covered?

@6thGearGarage Год назад

I would think so but for some reason they didn't.

@dexteranthony8866 4 года назад

Can you provide the link for both?

@6thGearGarage 4 года назад

You can buy the paint at local parts stores like Napa, Autozone, advance, Oriley's

@6thGearGarage 4 года назад

@@dexteranthony8866 I bought them on Amazon. I don't save the links in videos because the links can stop working after a while. When I bought the parts, I searched for "2006 Acura TSX calipers rotors rear" and they came as a kit with pads too.
