Thanks for very informative video!! Im going to rebuild my 997 front caliper using stop tech seal from Ohio performance. My brakes are less responsive so I looking forward to better brake feel.
About 2yrs late on this very informative video. I need to refresh my high mileage 964 brake calipers soon. A couple questions: 1) When using the aerosol spray can is there a recommended pattern to lay the coats down for a smoother finish? 2) Did you bake after you placed the clear coat? If so, how long and what temp?
@@MotorsportInspired I tried this morning. Heated up calipers and had 2 preval sprayers, one was coming out spotty and the other just sprayed air. Could not get it to work. Don't know what I'm doing wrong.
@@mike08282 if it’s coming out spotty, that means it’s to cold, warm up the can with heat gun and you should get fine mist. If it’s to cold and paint is thick it has harder time atomizing
@@MotorsportInspired paint is too cold or spray bottle is too cold? I have another kit at home and will try again tonight. It was around 72 degrees in my house.
@@mike08282 the spray bottle is too cold, but at the same time you can definitely warm up a paint a little bit as well that will definitely help as well, but mainly it’s the spray bottle that need temperature.
I´m a little late but....... Congratulations, you're the FIRST to not make the mistake of removing the old cylinders before sandblasting, but I would have left the old cylinders in until the new paint dried...! I looked at some other YTers who "supposedly" did the same thing, but made so many mistakes.....! Unfortunately, you are not perfect either, I would not have been so "stingy" if I were you and would have replaced the spring, the brake line and the dowel pins with new ones....! But that is my personal "German" opinion as a trained car mechanic because in Germany the law applies! "ALL MOVING PARTS ALWAYS NEW" especially with brake systems, but you shouldn't actually repair them yourself because of the (legendary) TÜV and the probable immobilization of the car if they is found that no authorized workshop has done the repair.... ;)))
Yea you definitely don’t want to be sandblasting inside the piston barrels as that would create pores in the surface decreasing seal capabilities and performance potentially making it dangerous to operate. Luckily I’m in US and there no such strict law here like TUV in Germany. Sure I could have replaced guide pins and springs but upon inspection 🧐 there were no detrimental wear or damage to either one expect surface rust that why decided to reuse it, would definitely replaced it any have been found. If laws like that were here I would have to get new pins and springs every six months because surface rust appears very quickly here, but none the less it’s a good practice to replace all rule for the general public since most people would overlook such element.
Good job man. First time rebuilding calipers on my 986 today. Now I know what to do. Thanks!
Awesome 💪👍thanks 🙏

Great video. Well done.
did you reuse the old pistons? or new ones
I reused old piston as they didn’t show any signs off degradation
great video. how long do you wait between coats of paint? also how long do you wait after the last coat of paint to bake them?
Thanks 🙏, between coats gave it about 10 min flash time and after last coat bake them after about 15 min.
