- How to Paint Brake Calipers - Like from the FACTORY
Use only heat-resistant paint! After heating, the paint becomes much stronger. Rust will not appear for many years.
This is the proper way to do this. Complete disassembly, thorough cleaning of the components, correct masking of contact surfaces, then high heat paint applied and cured. Agree with those who say to chase the threads to prevent galling upon reassembly, and possibly honing the piston bore if needed. Overall, very well done.
Earplugs are great for plugging bolt holes for paint.
This would be better without the background music like your previous brake video.
I usually despise music in these videos, but the music in the first 4.5 minutes is actually pretty cool and catchy, very fitting.
@@queensapphire7717, I’m feeling it also.
Bei meinem Gerät kann der Ton ausgeschaltet werden.
Turn the sound off.
The best video I've seen on brake cylinders. Very good and thorough work! Many thanks!
Nicely done job! It was good to see the use of citric acid, because that's a great way to remove rust and I've never tried that, with a caliper, so far.
Wow...that is a professional job. What great work.
Awesome job and great results
Good Video :) I always apply high temp ceramic grease on inside threads to stop steel bleeding nipples sizing up. And use ATE assembly lube on seals and pistons itself.
Also if u want them to last lot longer than zinc plating is best rust prevention and than powder coating or Epoxy primer and spray it.
All threaded holes need to have bolts screwed into them before sandblasting and painting. Then, a thread tap must be run in to clear out the threads.😊
Nice! I learned a few tricks. Thank you very much
Cool! Thank you too!!)
Nice result. It'd be great if you explain the steps you go through and the materials used for restoring/rebuilding the calipers.
Beautifully done
Nice Job bro 💪🏼
Excellent work. Never thought of Lemon Acid and it's ability to remove rust from calipers. You used Zinc Primer, then a black paint on the mounting surface. Is that just black heat-resistant black paint as well?
Thanks again for this how to.
Nice job 😎 I recognise those calipers - same as on my Volvo, though I wouldn't brave disassembling them at my desk like that 😵 Very surprised how well boiling in citric acid worked - I might give that a go 👍
Great job ! 👍
Thank you!!!
@@6wood You're welcome !
Very nice work 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Great video! Well done!
Nice job 👍
Great finish! How long did you bake it for?
Great job!
Music made me turn off.
No one cares
It's called mute ✨
Nice job 👍🏽👏👏👏
brilliant my man 🤘
Great video 👍
NICE JOB!
Красота, да и только 👍!
What air compressor are you using?
Молодец. Долгая и кропотливая работа.
Только зря он лимонную кислоту не нейтрализовал щелочным раствором.
What type of powder do you use to clean?
To remove the piston it's more easy/fast to use air compressor gun with any rubber for quick seal.
where did you buy the seal kit
Разве можно запекать детали крашеные обычной краской??????😮
Was that silicon grease being used.
2:20 lemon acid you mean citric acid?? It works with more metals or its specified for some metal?? i would like a bit explanation since i have many parts that i always sand by hand because i dont have sandblasting machine.. it will be really usefull to have more time while the chemicals working.. thanks you!!
I think you can try use vinegar, just soak it for one or two night or more for bigger parts.
I liked the Music 👍🏻
How long did you cooked tme?
You need to lubricate the slider pins otherwise it’ll seize up pretty quickly.
Not on these styles...many manufacturers don't recommend lubricating these.
So when should we lubricate and when not? Can you explain please?
@@wcmauldin81what calipers are these for because it’s the first I’ve ever heard of it? They will get water ingress and rust.
I know most BMWs have this style and the service manual specifically states to clean the guide pins but so not lubricate. Due to the pins potentially being open to the elements, any lubricant could attract foreign contaminants.
Sealed systems such as Kia and others are within the metal caliper bracket and need to be lubricated.
@@viteckafu4730 именно эти нельзя смазывать.
Hi. Thanks for the video. Why You use a heat after painting? Can I use a bike pump to extend the cylinder?
yes. you can use bike pump. heat is because for making sure paint doesnt fade when install on car
@@MrOner07 You can also put it out when caliber is conneted in your car, take it out disk and only push brake pedal.
200 degrees for how long they are kept in the oven?
Nice vid. What's rhe white grease you use on the various components?
Looks like lithium grease to me.
Love it!
look really good them.....how long did you bake them for?
20min max)
I recognize these. Mazda calipers. Did my recently as well, except I derusted them with electrolysis.
The logo on the calipers reads “Ford”, of course many Ford and Mazda parts are interchangeable depending on the market you are in .
Привет, какой краской красил?
Use a split ring spanner on brake pipe fittings.
Молодец. Хорошая работа
In 6 months those will need ALL this done again.
If you drive in salt. If not last some years.
Молодец красиво получилось.
Fire 🔥
отличная работа!
Nice to have all that equipment to do this.
You mean salt, lemons, a toothbrush, paint and an oven? Only thing most people won't have is the time it takes to do this.
You can just put air to that to push the piston out if anyone wants a simple way to
Красотища то какая! 😻
How did the BRAKE BLEED NIPPLE MOVE TO THE OPPOSITE SIDE?
If you watch closely, you'll realize there's 2 of them for both sides of the car, they are symmetrical, so there isn't any mistery you were just looking at the same calipers from differents sides of the car. I think that would be pretty clear tbh, because you can see both in the video.
why the heating process if primer is air dried ?
what chemicals do you use to boil the rust off?
It's citric acid
Ottimo lavoro super 👍👌
Caliper paint is heat resistant to 900*F. It is also very chemical resistant. Would have been nice to know what black primer you used and the final coat. They do look tremendous and that lemon acid trick is da shizat.
zinc primer probably silicon-organic base (temp resistant). And final paint based on silicone polymers. I would use paint for the calipers to be sure of paint compatibility. Thank you!
Отличная работа братан
You can use grease gun instead of air pressure, its safer and soaking calibers in winegar instead of citron acid, nice work anyway.
just make sure you fill it with brake fluid, grease will destroy the rubber.
Ficou show de bola !
Next video shows us how to buy painted Calipers online
What type of paste did you use on the brake cylinder?
light grease lube type doesnt matter too much
Polyalkylene Glycol
After the hours of work, and having the expensive machines to do the work. Its far cheaper and easier to just buy the replacements and slap them on.
Yes but what’s the fun in that!? 🤷♂️
@IDontTalkToCops if its an old car fine. If its a newer one and parts are easily available. Theres enough work there already. Get a core charge if you can. Olenty of fun doing that job. And not this unessacary bit.
not is not :) so call new aftermarket parts are often low quality ones and are cheap for reason.
@lucaslagun8283 i can buy an oem part for most vehicles upto 20 years back. I could see this on something vintage. Though often they do complete highend brake setups on most I've seen. I'll stand by its cheaper to buy than the time it took the person being recorded to do all that work.
Ya , but they are not nicely painted ?
Hello good job 😘😘😘
jaime beaucoup ❤
Ficaram lindas
Nice paint, should have honed the cylinder before installing the piston.
By the time they look like this, probably best to go ahead and replace them as soon as possible. I am all for things looking nice snd cleab but that wouldnt help the performance. I personally have had brake calipers freeze up on me while driving and if youve never had that experience,trust me you dont eant to becauee its scary as hell. Can never be too careful when it comes to your vehicles braking system!
Like a new 👍
I used to do this but you can get most common calipers now for £29 .
Unless you used some VERY special paint, any DOT3 or DOT4 fluid drips from final assembly or bleeding will eat off that paint and expose bare metal. I wonder if powder coating would be able to withstand this...
is this real? Lemon acid removes rust?
Might i suggest using the correct size spanner rather than us a poorly fitting adjustable wrench, they are very prone to rounding over the edges of nuts. ☹
Having worked at a gm dealership until early 2000s....I can say that the factory never painted calipers from the factory... Unless it was a special package.... Which was NOT the majority
Whats the white stuff in the tube?
This is (or should be at least) a lubricant that withstand braking fluid. It should be used on surfaces that have contact with DOT fluid. For example I use "ATE bremszylinder paste", but i do not know what is this what he uses in the video.
He used VMPAUTO MC-1600
Super!
Does that lemon acid remove rust so effectively? Can't believe my eyes!
White vinegar is great too.
The citric acid is wayyyyy faster than vinegar.
The acid does trash threads. Try it by putting a bolt and a nut in vinegar and see how loose the connection gets. I have done this.
If you were able to seal the threads well with some plastic fittings and maybe Teflon tape to seal them. It would work.
The piston housing itself doesn’t really see the piston. They don’t come into contact with the walls of the housing. Still. I would seal the piston hole off while using the …..vinegar or citric acid. I would not want that bore to be ate down by the acid.
The acid when washed off. Creates immediate flash rust. Yours were very clean. I don’t know how you achieved this.
I have achieved this by washing the metal off and immediately putting them in oil. Giving it no time to rust. Then I have to clean it again with solvent.
The zinc primer is not bad. It has anti rust capability.
Is this worth the time? Not really. You can buy the parts for not too bad. However. You can buy a rebuild kit for $5 and never do any of this at all. Just keep them rusted. The factory doesn’t coat them on many cars. They just rust. Newer cars coat them.
I have done all of this several times and am about to again. I might go through the trouble of de rusting. Only because I’m doing several calipers at once.
The paint is just high temp caliper pain and it does have to be baked on.
Powdercoating is better😊
Amazing job, but man that would take forever to do.
Why do so many "U Tubers" insist on some sort of irritating background "music" type Noise pollution? Technically excellent otherwise.
It's absolutely the worst
In most devices there's a button that allows you to control the volume at which you hear the music,.try it you will be amazed...😂
You guys are so entitled, he wasted time to record and post this, you ungratefull sobs
@@JoseMartinez-rp4yhu took the words out my mouth 😂
@@JoseMartinez-rp4yh Yes, we forget about the volume control. Except that we keep thinking there just MIGHT be some commentary we'll miss, LOL.
I popped out the pistons with an air nozzle using my compressor.
Metal looks pretty pitted after the lemon action
Такие вещи новые надо покупать, от этого жизнь зависит. Там все зазоры уже не в допусках.
I wanted to watch but can't do the same noise that long
I mean wtf
Ну если этому человеку пескоструй не помог, то помочь ему может только бог))).
Red rubber for the brake seals not white lithium. lithium will make them swell up other than that looks a good job. but me personally would powder coat them for a long lasting nice finish instead of something that looks good for about 2 weeks but guess you only done them for the add revinue 😂
И цвет серебристый совсем не подходит к дискам. Смотрится дёшево. Но всё равно молодец палец вверх за труд.
My ford focus has the same calipers
Неплохая работа, но, ребята смените пластинку!
You failed to lube the slide pins.
What is “lemon acid?”
Citrid acid, you could also use vinegar.
I love how you faked the rust, ive teardown hundreds of them and never see one with so bad rust yet still have shiny piston, removing the piston with only air blow feom 12v air compressor omg that is heaven, pls teardown mine ! it even have perfect condition rubber boot condition lol, , 😂
👍👍👍
Factory or aftermarket calipers etc are not painted they are zinc plated
Citric acid!
👌👌👌🙌
Наверно он не женат 😂
Слишком много лишней работы.
Why does it fell like a fake to me - with that citric acid?
