DIY: Paint brake calipers

[TTGator]

Painted the calipers this week. If you're not already a subscriber I'd ask you to subscribe and help me reach my goal!

I think it was overkill using the dremel and sandpaper to remove the black finish. The new paint should adhere if the black finish was cleaned good enough with brake cleaner and wire brush.

Yeah I thought it was probably overkill too

Few questions...

1. What is your subscriber goal (#)?

2. After all that work... why didn't you just have them powdercoated?

3. I'm assuming your ride is an S, No?

Curious. Thanks!

1. 1000 is my first goal.

1. I'll visit your YT page and bump you up 1.

2. Ummm... there are shops hat do that and I's thing well under $100. Well under, or walk.

3. Why red? Why not black (stock)? I'm not suggesting you have to go all "purist", just wondering.

By the way... I like your vids because you get into fair detail... not like others who tend to skip the important parts (like the guy who replaced his alternator (Not Burner), but fails to show the "finagling" back in part.)

2. If you didn’t notice from my channel, I’m all about do it YOURSELF.
3. Red looks much cooler?
