@@UnknownCoatings Actually there is Amber, Blue, Green and white. They all have different heat values but they are all Kapton tape. You can even purchase them in different size dots as well.
@em1tuning797 no. Kapton tape is specific to amber. Kapton tape is non conductive. Unlike other traditional blue or green high temp tape. Google image search kapton tape and tell me what color there is. I appreciate you trying to help. But not a fan of spreading misinformation
@@UnknownCoatings Kapton is a trademark of DuPont. They do add the amber pigment to the polyimide, however, it's possible that non-DuPont polyimide tape can be another color or that DuPont could produce another color for a large order on request. I'd say you're generally correct that most retail Kapton is amber, but the real issue is that we all call it Kapton when Kapton is just a brand.
They turned out great, that color really pops. Personally, I'm probably one of those weirdos that enjoys watching things get sand-blasted 😂 I love seeing the transformation from old and crusty to fresh metal. It's like visual ASMR.
Dryer sheet?! No sheet! (Sorry had to) but seriously I’ve never thought of that! I wonder what I will learn tomorrow. When I get those strings I let it cool just enough to just break em off. That said I’m sure you don’t have that kind of time to wait and I’m working with sheet aluminum. Absolutely brilliant work though bud! Thx for spending the time making videos for beginners like me! I’ve learned a ton from watching your videos!
What is the name of the Eco stripper you have talked about before? I’m trying to set up my stripper tank and I know you mention good things about that product
Why do you want paint/powder where the caliper bolt shoulders contact the flange ? I figured for most accurate torque, you probably don't want to torque the bolt onto painted/powdered surfaces. ...no ?
Hey Man, appreciate your content, that's a lot to learn. I'm a beginner in powder coating and sometimes I have difficulties with Bmw/brembo calipers. I paint calipers without halving them and they are outgassing at the junction of two halves, even though I outgas them in the oven for an 1.5 hour. Should I spread calipers on halves to prevent this?
did you need to pull them sooner or later to avoid the strings when pulling the logos i had the same issue on mine and i want to redo them and avoid that issue
Masking vs rubber plugs for the bores? I’ve had success with using Delrin knobs + threaded rods to press in rubber stoppers. It keeps the bores clear, though it does allow paint in the crevice where dust boots press in.
Love it! Quick question, can you take the graphic off right after spraying before the oven, and wouldnt that avoid the "stringy" and also not knowing the temperature of what the graphic can handle? Thank you in advance, love the vids
I guess this is a powder coating video not a like refurbishing but it would be nice if they were disassembled and honed if necessary and new seals not just cleaned and powder coated
I have a half dozen videos showing the whole process for brembos. Not these specific ones but test down, prep, powder, rebuild using new parts. Etc. If you have questions I'm happy to answer any questions you may have. Check episode 39 and 67
can the seals withstand the heat from baking? i have a set i want to get coated that only have about 4k miles on them. wanna avoid getting/removing seals if i can
Seals need to be removed. Yes they can handle the heat with fluid. But when dry the seals will become brittle. You also gotta worry about blasting media finding it's way inside. Not worth the risk. I have reused low mile seals with no issue
@@UnknownCoatings Not that it matters, but factory Brembo calipers are all painted with a high temp polyurethane paint. I have been told this directly by an employee at HQ in Italy.
@chrisbradley3224 you were misinformed because I have videos of them being powder coated. Some are painted. But it's rare. Some receive other surface Coatings. Most are powder coated. Wilwood also powder costs their brakes. As do most high end brake companies
@@UnknownCoatings I’m not convinced. Your info goes against everything they say publicly also. There is an explanation of their paint process on their site. Stoptech paints everything and real race calipers like AP and Alcon are anodized or nickel plated. I’ve also chipped mine and looks like paint to me. In any case it’s not that important and you do amazing work. I’d have no hesitation powder coating calipers.
Lovely finish. The mounting faces should be bare metal. If you make the masking circles bigger so it covers the recess the dust boots will fit properly as they will be too tight with powder on them.
Untrue. The seals are already in and dust seals can't fit too tight at their pinch point. They either fit or don't. As the pinch point doesn't actually move... I have done countless sets of brakes here. Check out my other videos to see similar results

Super good looking color!
As always, loved the video!
I appreciate it good sir!
The hi temp tape is called Kapton Tape for whoever is interested. Amazing work on the calipers.
thats only the amber high temp tape and thank you for the kind words

Haha I will try to include sone more!
That color is SO SICK! Nice job!
Holy shit those came out amazeballs
Your bad ass dude! Great job!!
That clear really did it 👏
have you thought about 3d printing plugs to block off the bores? There are some high temp products now, you'd need to be choosy on the product though!

Delrin melts at 350 F, wont work for powder coating
@@UnknownCoatings whoops. Forgot you were baking these. Rubber wouldn’t hold up then either
@hanhu3337 we had silicone ones often
What type of Powder Coating did you use on the calipers? Is it epoxy or urethane or another? Just wondering due to chipping and cracking…
You are wondering which is more likely to experience chipping or cracking?
Did a red set of BMW brembos today 🤘🏻
no you didnt dude
Great video
Love it! Quick question, can you take the graphic off right after spraying before the oven, and wouldnt that avoid the "stringy" and also not knowing the temperature of what the graphic can handle? Thank you in advance, love the vids
No because the powder that sticks to the graphic will immediately jump to the area you are trying to cover

Small tip put the pistons in backwards without the seals
