How to Paint Brake Calipers - Like from the FACTORY

Use only heat-resistant paint! After heating, the paint becomes much stronger. Rust will not appear for many years.

    This is the proper way to do this. Complete disassembly, thorough cleaning of the components, correct masking of contact surfaces, then high heat paint applied and cured. Agree with those who say to chase the threads to prevent galling upon reassembly, and possibly honing the piston bore if needed. Overall, very well done.

    This would be better without the background music like your previous brake video.

    Nicely done job! It was good to see the use of citric acid, because that's a great way to remove rust and I've never tried that, with a caliper, so far.

    Nice! I learned a few tricks. Thank you very much

    Good Video :) I always apply high temp ceramic grease on inside threads to stop steel bleeding nipples sizing up. And use ATE assembly lube on seals and pistons itself. Also if u want them to last lot longer than zinc plating is best rust prevention and than powder coating or Epoxy primer and spray it.

    Nice result. It'd be great if you explain the steps you go through and the materials used for restoring/rebuilding the calipers.

    All threaded holes need to have bolts screwed into them before sandblasting and painting. Then, a thread tap must be run in to clear out the threads.😊
