You arent suppose to paint the rotors and not only that why not change the rotors they have rust build up and I'm sure there is vibration when stepping on the brake
Eric Osorio. Your dead wrong. Honda and Chrysler used aluminized painted rotors, (same as hi temp paint). This allowed for better brake in of the rotor and it burned off after 5 minutes or so (no pad conta.ination at all) Rusted rotors will not cause vibration in them selves. But cheap ass made in China rotors will. They warp easily on vehicles such as the Honda Odyssey wich is an expensive but great vehicle. Bottom line is assy line cost and thats what they all do to save assy line $$$$. 4 Oddys owned to date and all of em warped the front rotors on hard braking. The performance is ok initially but within 18 K miles rotors are toast. Put drilled and slotted rotors on my 16 Oddy EXL NAVI and braking performance is great. BTW I'm die hard Honda but Honda's brake material has sucked sicd 73 Civic days. Exception 90 accord got rotors on the inside of the front knuckle. Ya! 160 K miles on my 92 EX Coupe and the L rotor cracked. Bitch to change out but that's great mileage by any standard.
@@mooglemy3813 Um, banging rust off with a screw driver will change the balance of the rotor and once that happens they will vibrate. I agree with Eric, the rotors should of been replaced.
@@mooglemy3813 Lol, that paint will wear off after 1 or 2 times stepping on the brake. I assume your honda and crysler rotors use a baked-on or powdercoated coating. No 1K paint would stay on a brake rotor.
Exactly what I was thinking. I think when I do mine I'll avoid getting paint on the part. I'm going to be painting mine in orange anodized paint. Hopefully I'll get a good result using that.
Yes it will remove it with one brake, and clean the rotor face, you can mask that area too, but I didn't, it's faster like this, to paint the rotor and it will clean the surface when use brake
The paint on the braking surface of the rotor will come right off as you brake for the first few times. A nice round edge will be created around the hub making the job complete. Looks nice.
Painting the rotor is a bad idea. Even though the silver paint will be removed during braking, the paint will infused to the brake pad surface causing the braking be less effective. You want the brake pad to be free of all contaminants. No a well thought out process. I would have just leave the rotor unpainted.
Beautiful job, I liked the detail polishing pads, cleaning the inside of wheels, well done! I just did the rears on my buick lesabre last night. Fronts will be this weekend. Painted them semi gloss black, I wanted a factory kind of look.
@@nemanjak.7341 No. THEY DON'T! They have a rust protection film on them to prevent them rusting between the factory & installation on you vehicle and you are supposed to use brake cleaner to get rid of that BEFORE driving the vehicle.
@@glenner YES THEY ARE GLENN!!!!! :)), Joke aside, here in EU, some new rotors are painted from factory, some have protective oil/film residue, which you then clean with the break cleaner before install. Painted rotors you dont' have to clean before install after one good break that thin coat of paint is gone. Juts google "new rotors ATE" or "new rotors Textar" and click images...

When they rebuild calipers . The cleaning process removes the zinc . So most often the new ( remanufactured) lones will have a rusty appearance in 3 months . I just clear coated mine so they look new, no color.
I would’ve just taken everything off and did it everything and in the end just install them back since you already took everything out just to be clean and put back the time already put into work.
Why is this? I’ve seen a few videos of people wire brushing their Calipers and it’s the first time I’ve heard someone say this. Not being negative but I was thinking of using this method to clean off mine and it seems to work well. Is there asbestos in the Calipers or paint or something?

Its not about been dumb, it's time saving, if I mask the rotor pad face to paint the edges it will take so much time, but I painted all the rotor, one brake will clean the pad rotor surface, and the edge of the rotor will remain without masking
Good job. However I'd remove each caliper and do it off vehicle. Was expecting paint cans. Not torquing wheels bad idea. Impact gun only for initial tightening and then torque to OEM spec. Most will not have a paint gun. You should advise the rust cleaner and your degreasing cleaners and applicators types. Not knocking you as your vid is ok. Paint trye and clear cote shiuld be mentioned. Thumbs up anyway as good prep and explanation!!!!!
It will be very good, I did remove it in this video th-cam.com/video/QziqPsCVqQ8/w-d-xo.html ,but some ppl don't have every tool to remove the caliper, so that will be very easy for them
Everybody cant take the caliper of and then bleed the system, u dont recommend everyone take it off, I did another video where I took it off, this what u looking for: th-cam.com/video/QziqPsCVqQ8/w-d-xo.html
Lol, it's for saving time, didn't mask it,only wanted to paint the edges of the rotor, and I painted whole rotor and the brake pads will clean the surface only the edges will stay without masking, most rotor come painted now days
SOOOOO many things wrong with this video! Like, NEVER PAINT ON THE ROTOR BRAKE SURFACE! IT WILL GUM UP YOUR PADS AND MAKE YOUR BRAKES LESS EFFECTIVE!!! Sure rotors get dirty under normal conditions, but not soaked in PAINT. Again... DO NOT PAINT THE ROTOR BRAKE SURFACE...EVER
Why dafuq are you painting the rotor? One turn under brakes and that paint is gone, not to mention you're gonna contaminate your pads badly with paint :-/
you did a complete restoration! nice and neat. do you have a glass beader or sand blaster? if so, pls make more videos!

won't that silver paint now affect the braking or get stripped down as soon as you get down on the brakes ?

Thanks for watching and supporting, and good luck with your work, well done
Painting a piston seal on your caliper , boot ring and the bleed screw. Will make your calipers not work well. Therefore not stopping well.
Thanks for the video Ali. Is it fine to paint the surface of the brake discs as you did? I mean doesn't it affect braking and the brake pads?
Thanks man, no, with a single light brake it will clean the surface, even some companies sell fully painted rotors like that
@@AliMECH thank you bro for the quick reply. I have everything ready (basic not pro) to mimic you soon ensha Allah..
That's awesome bro, good luck ✌✌
Looks great, you did a great job!

A simple hole 🕳 template in a sheet of cardboard.lay 🕳 over rotor break pad surface and BAM 💥!!!!
some of the rustiest calipers ive seen lol .Very good thorough job 👍
yes it was lol, thanks for watching

You don't need to prime the calipers before the basecoat?
dude i think you need to replace the rotors and calipers..! forget the painting.
thats what dealer will tell you, it happens to every car when they stop for a while, thats a normal thing, no need to replace them
Calipers are fine. Maybe rebuild.. But rotors and pads just get new for cheap man
When they rebuild calipers . The cleaning process removes the zinc . So most often the new ( remanufactured) lones will have a rusty appearance in 3 months . I just clear coated mine so they look new, no color.
Good preperation for calipers that are rusty. Don't think newer, ones need same, amount of prep. Not keen on painting disc though. Good job though

I hope the brake dust doesnt contain asbestos while you wire brush and shoot compressed air to your calipers.

It’s like polishing a turd
Good job , but i recomend do anodize instead painting, last for life
Yes, you are right, but i couldn't find it near where i leave
Did you consider removing the rust before painting?? Asking for a friend
Of course, remove as much as possible, you need to paint on fresh metal not on rust
GOOD JOB !!!!!!!!
for me hand Wire Brass Brush , Brake KLEEENS and hand Paint with Oil Based Tremclad Paint .

Thanks man 🙏
The only thing this guy did decent in this entire video was Cleaning!!! You should just base the video on how to clean your Rotors and Calipers!!!
If you like to paint it out of the car, I did it here th-cam.com/video/QziqPsCVqQ8/w-d-xo.html
But everyone cant do that, unless you have tools

U did a good job but left paint on rotor 🤷🏾♂️
No problem one brake will clean the pad surface, most after market brake rotors comes fully painted
Shoulda bought new rotors.
No no and no. Take it off that's the correct way

Who the f*** paints the rotors!!😂😂ur not suppose to do that...
