Great video, gave me a lot of ideas however i have one question, what type of material did you use for the porshe sticker so the heat wont melt the word design? cheers..
It is actually better to leave the seals and pistons in and cook at 300 degrees which will not hurt the seals at all and removal will most likely cause more damage than leaving them intact. Calipers can reach 600 degrees under normal conditions especially on motorhomes.
Your site says that the powder coat is only good to us and up to 250 degrees with calipers can go all the way up to 1000 degrees so do you have any powder coat that is good for these calipers to withstand the high heat
TONY HAWK in case your still looking, the calipers on the video are 17Z's from base model porsche cayenne, audi q7, and vw touareg, and a few more i believe. You can find full 4 corner sets on ebay for around $400-800, and probably cheaper if you get them from a part out.
Did you bake the calipers with the rear caliper seal still in between the back brake? meaning I know some brembos are a two piece set up and on my particular car the back ones are a two piece set up that have a gasket in between the two pieces that keeps it from leaking. Brembo says do not separate the pieces so if I bake it in the oven at 400 degrees will it damage the gasket
It's high-temperature decal, that's why he able to bake them with it on and not have it fall off. But I personally recommend leaving that to the last step because the curing can move the font as you can see. Plus it gives you the option to change the font color time to time.
Just saw this video and I like it. The gloss powder that you added is this gold or clear? I wish you had a link to it since I have to paint my calipers gold and this was very interesting to learn.
+Sledge Hammer It was Eastwood Gold Powder (item 10163) - www.eastwood.com/hotcoat-powder-gold.html and Eastwood Full Gloss Clear Powder (10093) www.eastwood.com/hotcoat-powder-full-gloss-clear.html.
thats what i wanna know. you cant put a vinyl sticker in a 400 degree oven without it shrinking up and you damn well cant powder coat over the top of it! ( that being said whoever thinks that wavy ass logo looks good is blind ) - i have a great deal of experience with powder ( go to www.redbarronchoppers.com and look at the orange and silver bike and the yellow and red onr - thats 100% powder! the better way to make this work id do the base 50% cooked.... let it cool off then use an INVERSE logo and lightly rough up the soft powder inside the logo area and then SHOOT A DIFFERENT COLOR... put it back in the oven and cook the whole thing... you will never have to worry about it falling off its there for life!
It's not so much the heat, it's the powder getting on them and gumming up the works. Plus, continuous 400° for 20 minutes is a bit different than 1200° for a few seconds then cool down.
$99 pancake compressor, spray outside, and use a dedicated powder-only toaster oven. Buy the cheap Harbor Freight gun and powders, boom: $200 powder coat setup. Granted, it won't get results like the pros, but it'll take up little space and cost almost nothing.
+Eastwood Company I just spoke to one of your customer service reps to get more info on what I needed to complete a similar caliper project. She told me that you no longer carry high temperature powder coating for brake calipers and haven't in the last 5 years that she's been employed with Eastwood. She stated that "the TH-cam video you saw must have been an old one". Powder coating in nature is high temp, so which is it? Is this still available or not?

Wow! The amount of money people charge for this job.
Did the gloss adhere to the sticker as well so you had a solid gloss layer over the sticker and powder coat?
Great Job. FANTASTIC.
where did you buy those calipers for $200?
Your site says that the powder coat is only good to us and up to 250 degrees with calipers can go all the way up to 1000 degrees so do you have any powder coat that is good for these calipers to withstand the high heat
1000 degrees for a caliper?
Very cool and all but one question... WHERE Did you get yourself a pair of 6piston Brembos for a steal?!
TONY HAWK in case your still looking, the calipers on the video are 17Z's from base model porsche cayenne, audi q7, and vw touareg, and a few more i believe. You can find full 4 corner sets on ebay for around $400-800, and probably cheaper if you get them from a part out.
Awesome. Completely awesome.
Could you tell more about the "sticker"? Was it off-the-shelf? Made specifically for powder coating? Etc.
+David Plass It was a standard automotive grade vinyl decal.
+Eastwood Company But also high-temperature-resistant, like the tape, right?
+David Plass yes
It looks like someone got our Devvo to cut those decals with safety scissors. :)
I need to get myself this!!!!
nice work ,question tho what material was the decal that it didnt melt off from the heat ? vinyl?
it actualy did. if you look closely you can tell it deformed
Great video
Where can I find those red caps you are using for the holes??
weird question; is that a special decal or any decal is ok? i'm wondering why it didn't melt in the oven.
Hay I got a question? @eastwoodco do you supposed to removed the bleeder screw before you put the calipers in the oven?
why did you not polish the surface and prime it before powder coating? it looks rough from re-manufactured condition
Rock auto, those are 17z's they came factory on mid 2000's Porsche Cayenne and VW Touareg
damn had no idea, they would be that cheap. thats a crazy price
Measuring digit length
@Eastwood Company so when spraying the clear, you dont have to attach the grounding strap?
If you're using the "Hot Flocking" method you do not need the ground strap.
great stuff
Hey in the video you mentioned media blasting the calipers what is the best media for the job thanks.
Did you bake the calipers with the rear caliper seal still in between the back brake? meaning I know some brembos are a two piece set up and on my particular car the back ones are a two piece set up that have a gasket in between the two pieces that keeps it from leaking. Brembo says do not separate the pieces so if I bake it in the oven at 400 degrees will it damage the gasket
I always thought you had to let the first layer to cool down completely before spraying the 2nd coat?
could you tell me a bit about the decals
maybe the brand are they vinyl?
what exactly do I need to be able to clear over decals
It's high-temperature decal, that's why he able to bake them with it on and not have it fall off. But I personally recommend leaving that to the last step because the curing can move the font as you can see. Plus it gives you the option to change the font color time to time.
Good luck finding a pair of 6 piston Brembos for $200?!
James Callahan 17Z off the porsche cayennes bro, full sets go for like $600 on ebay. They're hands down the best cheap BBK out there.
Got my 18Z 350mm rotor brembos off of a wrecked porsche cayenne, $175 a piece before rebuild. Use car-part or ebay. They're out there!
My calipers are in halves, is it ideal to bolt them back together before powder coating?
For the best powder coat result, separate them before powder coating. Msk off the proper area then rebolt back together when rebuilding.
What about gold plated??
Just saw this video and I like it. The gloss powder that you added is this gold or clear? I wish you had a link to it since I have to paint my calipers gold and this was very interesting to learn.
+Sledge Hammer It was Eastwood Gold Powder (item 10163) - www.eastwood.com/hotcoat-powder-gold.html and Eastwood Full Gloss Clear Powder (10093) www.eastwood.com/hotcoat-powder-full-gloss-clear.html.
+Eastwood Company Thank you sir, I better place my order right away for the gloss clear.
nice
where can i get these decals
what kind of sticker is that?
thats what i wanna know. you cant put a vinyl sticker in a 400 degree oven without it shrinking up and you damn well cant powder coat over the top of it!
( that being said whoever thinks that wavy ass logo looks good is blind ) -
i have a great deal of experience with powder ( go to www.redbarronchoppers.com and look at the orange and silver bike and the yellow and red onr - thats 100% powder!
the better way to make this work id do the base 50% cooked.... let it cool off then use an INVERSE logo and lightly rough up the soft powder inside the logo area and then SHOOT A DIFFERENT COLOR... put it back in the oven and cook the whole thing... you will never have to worry about it falling off its there for life!
Nice video but why do the porsche letters look so weird ... It's definitely not the Porsche font
How well will dust and such show in the powder coating? Is it like norma paint or will it show less/more dust in it
it shows in powdercoat just like in paint. sometimes it can be a little less apparent
I too have a convenient cooking oven in my garage like thousands of Americans 👍
link to buy larger calipers from?
How much powder do you actually need for 1 caliper?
why painting again and take it back to the owen after the same job ???!!!
considering how HOT brakes get do you really think the pistons and seals would not withstand 400 degrees
i think that is bullshit
It's not so much the heat, it's the powder getting on them and gumming up the works. Plus, continuous 400° for 20 minutes is a bit different than 1200° for a few seconds then cool down.
whats a POASCHE?
Nice work but there is no way my wife will let me buy air compressor and spray powder in the garage then put a caliper in the oven
$99 pancake compressor, spray outside, and use a dedicated powder-only toaster oven. Buy the cheap Harbor Freight gun and powders, boom: $200 powder coat setup. Granted, it won't get results like the pros, but it'll take up little space and cost almost nothing.
Well then , just put your Fanny pack on and go back into the kitchen
Looks great minus that absolutely shocking sticker
wrong font type for porsche logo
more like it melted little bit tho...
Can't be repaired like paint !!!
Would of looked better primed!
👀 like 💩. Exactly what you would expect from Eastwood products.
Why are all the letters distorted after clear? lol.. looks like shit.
The decals shrunk looks like crap
pOrScHe lol thats how your font looks tbh

My thoughts exactly... Please do tell...

My god that looks hideous lol seriously this looks absolutely terrible.
Can we automate powder coating of these parts? Please clarify
We're not sure how you would do that without an assembly line of infrastructure.
@@eastwoodco oh. So can I infer that as of now there is no assembly line infrastructure for this?
We don't offer an automated way of doing what you're asking. You need to manually apply powder coat from a gun such as our PCS-250 then bake.
@@eastwoodco thanks man it was a great help
