What calipers?!!! 😆Kidding. Everything u did was perfect. Took ur time, meticulous, cleared them afterwards and even used those rods to align the wheels, antiseize, torque wrench, even a pretty woman getting her hands dirty for her car! Well done!
You are a detailed woman 💎I know this is an old video but wow you are a perfectionist like myself. I will be doing mine soon I have my supplies and my ceramic coating for my wheels. You did a excellent job ✊
Better approach: Remove 2 bolts to remove the caliper- remove the pads/junk.- Allows a thorough caliper paint job (no overspray on the car) bake the calipers in the oven; apply Porsche lettering and coats of high temp clear coat - again oven bake the paint ; reassemble
Excellent video, many thanks. I painted all 4 calipers on my 996 this weekend and it looks awesome. My only advice is to cover the calipers with a cloth when you mount the wheels as the paint will not be fully cured and it's easy to scrape it - trust me!!
Thanks for the video. I used this process. Mine came out like yours. Only advise is buy more brake cleaner. Ran out on the 4th caliper. Also, cover the floor really well!!!
I dont own a Porsche, but do have VW's. And always use a little dab of anti-seize regardless of what the manufacturer says. The thread on the lugs is very thin, and have had a few times with freezed studs due to heat up and rust. And specially with safety lugs. So a small dab of anti seize solves all this. Of course, always torque the lugs correctly.
Looks very nice great job, about to do this on my boxter, just out of interest in my tool roll there is a rod to hold the wheel in place as you remove the nuts, shouldn’t need the dowels.
Dumb question. I recently looked at a 06 Cayman S brake caliper/s and they seemed to be pretty much covered with red Porsche plastic covers (very smooth finish and fading). Do they come like this from factory? Thanks.
Wow !! You did a fantastic job there. I really like how well thought out it was and how you sealed the decal with the clear coat. I have been thinking of painting the calipers on my '01 Porsche Carrera 911 (996). My calipers are silver just like those ones were.... and RED was just the color I was thinking. After watching your video ... you have inspired me to do this on my silver 996 once the weather gets a little nicer. How well is the paint holding up , now a year later ? Thank you for taking the time to post :)
Hi there! I'm so glad you asked! I was going to do an update video to show that even a year later, my calipers are brand new looking. I took my time, sanded and cleaned thoroughly and it paid off. They look professional and there is no need to remove the caliper and all this other nonsense people make you believe you need to do. I did the job all myself, too, showing that anyone with patience can do this job. Don't be afraid. Your 911 will look so much hotter!
I'm gonna power coat mine using Power Coat Magnet and power coat them in place like she did, great job Jesse! I will video tape the job when i do it and add it to my channel, right now I'm doing a water pump smh
One other note... Read your Porsche car manual. It will likely say Do Not Use Anti Seize compounds on the car as those qualities are already in the steel. I may be wrong about the 997, but thats what it says in the 928 and other manuals.
132,921 views and 593 subs from one car video! Why are you not doing more car videos? Great video those calipers look clean! I want to change mine from black to yellow or red.
Surf Tribe thank you for the comment. My calipers are still pristine baby! Don’t let the haters think you have to remove the whole thing. Not necessary
Interesting video.. I see what your doing here and I will give you a thumbs up here. I'd definitely look to pulling my brake parts right off the vehicle to do a job the way I would want it done. Next I'd be using a good degreaser and wax remover or a Final Wipe Solution, maybe even something a little stronger before going to primer. One big mistake people make with painting is not allowing a proper cure time. All though a primer or paint might feel dry.. its still releasing chemicals up till the proper cure time. Painting to early n result in paint lifting or bubbling. Please don't rush the job!!! can't be emphasized enough... When it comes to putting decals on.. use water and green dish detergent. Spray it on, place the decal/vinyl and then squeegie out the soap and water. Decal will end up exactly where you want it and undamaged every time. Hope those are foods for thoughts. Cheers :)
@Team Americana Do your homework. Anti seize on lugs can alter the torque and you can end up snapping the head of the bolt off. Coming from an ASE Certified master tech. "Kid"
If you not going to take the caliper off, at least turn the wheel(Hub) to the inside/outside so you can get to the backside of the caliper. Really though, you should just take the caliper off.
Came here for the paint session, stayed for the woman of my dreams lol. Excellent job ma'am!
I love that the bottom of the Porsche crest is facing the valve stem...that is what the factory wants, and is some serious Porsche nerd knowledge.
Michael Esarey thats a true Porsche fan who knows that info!!
as a painter I'm highly impressed with your masking skills, most idiots just spray paint and think there is no such thing as over spray, 👍
Best one on this topic I have seen so far!!! Thank you for this great video.
I came here to watch and learn how to paint calipers. I left headbanging to my kitchen for some beers to MetallicA! Awesome work lady!
thank you very much for covering the car from the paint particles !!! its a must ... tooo many ppl ignore masking the car well
Great job and wow results. Thanks, getting ready to do my 986 and this is the simplest way to go without removing the calipers.
So happy you posted this. I am about to do my BMW M5 😀
What calipers?!!! 😆Kidding. Everything u did was perfect. Took ur time, meticulous, cleared them afterwards and even used those rods to align the wheels, antiseize, torque wrench, even a pretty woman getting her hands dirty for her car! Well done!
Good technique on how you carried out the work like a pro calipers look amazing keep up the good work
Thanks for showing us how to do it. You did an amazing job! Keep tips coming.
What are you doing ??
thanks for posting. I'm gonna do my BMW now! Looks killer Jessie nice work!
Nice job girl! I'm getting ready to do this to my Cayenne, enjoyed your video.
Great Work!! Ive seen men who dont have the stones to do this!! Beautiful work Beautiful woman!!
You did a great job and patience is the key
You are a detailed woman 💎I know this is an old video but wow you are a perfectionist like myself. I will be doing mine soon I have my supplies and my ceramic coating for my wheels. You did a excellent job ✊
Big D thank you! They are still in perfect condition. Don’t let the haters make you believe you have to do more
So nice touch there you did there! Thanks for sharing!
My boxster s (2006) and surfboards look almost exactly like your, my garage! Aloha from Hawaii, topdown year round!
Well done! Love the tip on curling the decal backing!
Better approach: Remove 2 bolts to remove the caliper- remove the pads/junk.- Allows a thorough caliper paint job (no overspray on the car) bake the calipers in the oven; apply Porsche lettering and coats of high temp clear coat - again oven bake the paint ; reassemble
Looks AWESOME! The calipers don't look bad either.
I just watched another woman do the same work but she had over spray everywhere this woman did a good job keep up the good work
Excellent video, many thanks. I painted all 4 calipers on my 996 this weekend and it looks awesome. My only advice is to cover the calipers with a cloth when you mount the wheels as the paint will not be fully cured and it's easy to scrape it - trust me!!
😃 OMG she can paint my calipers any time 👍🏻
nice touch with the decal, good work
Well done ! Love your hair
Cool the paint came out great!
Jessie you are awesome. I have the same car and may try this.
Looks pretty good!
Thanks for the video. I used this process. Mine came out like yours. Only advise is buy more brake cleaner. Ran out on the 4th caliper. Also, cover the floor really well!!!
Great job, remember to reduce the lug dry torque by about 20-30% when you use lubrication.
Nice vid. Great results.
She's made my day
That was awesome..congrats. do more 997 diy;s
You are not supposed to use anti-seize on lugs.
might as well put some lock tite on it too lol
Not true. I little dab is fine. Don't go crazy with it. I small amount where the wheel meets the center hub is also preferred. Especially on Porsche.
@@rustyme1122 nope! Porsche manual clearly states not putting anti-seize on lug nuts!
I’m with Mac Daddy, most manuals I’ve read say not to

This is awesome. Motivate me to make this my next project :)
Your hair looks wonderful!!
Looks awesome.
Awesome job well done Hun.
Great job!! I will try it in my car
very good work, impressive
Great job 👍👍
Looks great
Looks very nice great job, about to do this on my boxter, just out of interest in my tool roll there is a rod to hold the wheel in place as you remove the nuts, shouldn’t need the dowels.
Great job!!!!
She did a really good video and job
I am gonna like this video bc I hear that ride the lightning HELL YEA
You are too cool. Good work.
great video thanks for sharing

From Milano....nice work
great job !!!!!
Holy shit, this video is much better than the other 12 I've seen and I'm not even pairing my own calipers lol, just curious
Great Job! Thanks
Dumb question. I recently looked at a 06 Cayman S brake caliper/s and they seemed to be pretty much covered with red Porsche plastic covers (very smooth finish and fading). Do they come like this from factory? Thanks.
Absolutely gorgeous! And the calipers too.
looked to have done it right and made it easy..great
See, this is the wife i want. Good work!!!!!!
Good job young lady.
I have a silver Boxter, but I'm debating what color to do my calipers. Too many red and yellow out there.
Wow !! You did a fantastic job there. I really like how well thought out it was and how you sealed the decal with the clear coat.

"Video tape"? Where will you find tape for your video camera? ;-)
Amazing. Can you please share where did you get the Porsche decalls stickers????
Nice work. Looks great. Where did you get the Porsche stickers?
Jessie, where did you get the Porsche decal sticker. Great job!
One other note... Read your Porsche car manual. It will likely say Do Not Use Anti Seize compounds on the car as those qualities are already in the steel. I may be wrong about the 997, but thats what it says in the 928 and other manuals.
Amazing
very nice beautiful !!!!!
where u get the Porsche decals for brake calibers?
very nice
What brand of LED work light are you using to illuminate the caliper? It looks like a wand.
That awesome little handy dandy light is made by Mac Tools and its a Slim Bar Light. I use it for everything! You will too.
a good wipe down with a micro fiber towel and some rubbing alcohol works wonders
Delightful
Lil tip for this: Slightly turn the wheels to get more angle on the caliper
where did you get the Porsche stickers
Where did you buy the decal from?
I just got my calipers that i ordered should i still sand it or leave it brand new like it is ?
sand them
Where did you get your caliper stickers. The dealerships that I call only sell the entire caliper smh
If you looked like that you'd get stickers too.lol
She shore is Purdy sez my soon to be ex BF
What song is the intro and outro? Sounds like metallica.
It is the best band of all time! You got it. For whom the bell tolls. Rock on baby!

Excelente justo hoy hice lo mismo a mi auto
nice job i will do the same
I like the the oem look better. I would have just cleaned and clear coated it if was mine. nice job thou!
We all need a wife like this.
Great job, you need to patent the technique you used to get your girl to help you work on car stuff, I would buy some!
Only another 3 to do..... time consuming job but looks fab 👍🏻
nice
hmm well putting antisieze on aluminum lugs not a good idea...
@Team Americana Do your homework. Anti seize on lugs can alter the torque and you can end up snapping the head of the bolt off. Coming from an ASE Certified master tech. "Kid"
nice👍
Where can I get those porsche stickers?
Araba ve mod meraklısı olarak tam evlenilecek kadın :-)
If you not going to take the caliper off, at least turn the wheel(Hub) to the inside/outside so you can get to the backside of the caliper. Really though, you should just take the caliper off.
You should have a screw in metal dowel in your tool kit to help you fit the wheel. No need for the wood.
Where did you get the stickers from?
ebay
looks like factory paint . good job
you should turn the steering wheel to the right to have more room to the caliper.
