Painting 30 year old Calipers *LIKE NEW*

So you may have seen these in the background. I sanded them and I'm going to prepare them for

painting

. Yeah, let's see if we can clean them up, tape them up and get them ready. I've done a really terrible job on this entire video. for these brakes, but it doesn't matter there, so yeah, these brakes are primed and ready to go and can you guess what color they are now? A couple of you, I'm sure, are very smart and probably saw this in the kind of background we have. a little bit of gold, I think it will look really good with the rest of the car, it just seems appropriate and I think it will look really good, look at this, let's give it a quick first coat.

I'm very happy with that. I'll look so good mm-hmm honestly, I have no idea where I am in these videos right now. I have a lot of things going on. You will see several videos if you haven't already, doing one thing and others. going on, there will be jumps between many days because I just can't do it in one day, but last night I didn't change the spark plugs, I didn't even start the car, step 1, start. the car, make sure everything works and write it down, so a good thing I can do with any car is go to Google Drive.

I have a Word document that I created and kept a maintenance record of any date, mileage or price. of things, what the part numbers are, I have all that information in one place on the disk, I can't lose it and I only have a long list of parts that I bought and the intervals of when I did something to the car in the effort. To make it better, my helpful tip of the day will start to be time to update my registry, so this is what I'm talking about, so every date I bought something summer more than others, but when I wash the car and I have my list of things, they I replaced it, I just passed it out.

He wanted to keep his mods and want to buy them. It's all there and some useful links, but it's definitely a good idea. I highly recommend it anyway. Look at these, they just came out amazing, they're not perfect, but no one. I'll ever know, except for you and anyone who watches these videos, so I'm really excited about them. You know, my first time

wasn't that bad. I mean, I could have done a better job overall, but you know, because it's a day job. self driven these are going to look great they both came out amazing so I'm totally happy with these as of now and in the works we have some paint remover here it's like an eco friendly thing it works pretty well but you know it requires a lot of scraping to get the paint off and it can't dry otherwise it stops working that's why I have the plastic here, trust me it helps a lot so I let it sit overnight and it still has a lot of paint on it that just stuck to it. there, but eventually they will also be painted gold.

Instead I'll sell these 30k black iron tongs. Oh, another thing I discovered was that I can reuse them. This is a brake assembly with the dust shield on my original hubs which is awesome, I thought I needed the flanged hub which I have an extra pair of so if anyone needs flanged rear hubs with dust shields dust, the only thing missing is the parking brake cable, but I have the complete setup so it's packaged or whatever. I need it, contact me. I'm in San Diego, so send me a message. We can meet and I will give you a good deal.

It's been some time, let's see how these tweezers work. We let them rest for a while. I didn't buy a pair of slotted and drilled rotors, they barely have any use which is great, just a little bit of surface rust and I have some for the front too, we'll just clean them up and give them a quick spray. the top hat type just to make them look a little prettier. I think they'll turn out pretty pretty, so we're going to go with some semi-gloss black because that's all I have, it'll look good once. You actually start using the rotors where the surface rust is that will turn shiny and the rest will stay black and I'm totally fine with that but I'm going to do minimal prep because I really don't care and it doesn't really matter that much. quick before and well, Jimmy Oaks special rotor, so I removed the paint as much as I could and pressure washed it and it did a lot, it looks great, but to remove these last bits even a scraper and a wire wheel.

Should do the trick. Shouldn't take too much, look at them looking spicy. Yes, as you already know, in addition to preparing the big exchange for my 240, we also have other things we need. Take care, so I grabbed a set of rear hubs and dust shields and everything related to the holy brake assembly. I have cut the wire on this one but I have the r33 wires ready to go here and that plastic down there but hey I have all this stuff outside the car might as well make it look as good as possible and with that it will require a bit of hammering, a little painting and a little disassembly and assembly.

I feel bad having to touch it. These with these dirty hands, but you know, duty calls the YouTube administrator. Look, go 1 2 3, look closely, take a look, they're done, it looks very good. Look, these guys came out pretty good for a quick spray paint job, you know, no big deal. deal, but you know, this really makes the trade-off that much closer to being possible because what's the point of putting them on without them being painted right? I just want to do this one, so let's do it right and that's how I finished the tweezers. The e-brake dust shield assembly is made with the wires connected and is all ready to go.

I even have the rotors painted to the point where they will look good, as you know, once it's all together it will be good enough for where you need it. We're really looking for those Devils type details like everything is going to turn out very well and I'm very excited about that before we know what we're going to make this happen, it's going to be something like we put brakes on the 300zx. car because you know it deserves it and I know it deserves it it's just a matter of getting there it's so close but so far patience but anyway hey these brakes came out pretty impressive.

I'm excited about these, these will look great once. they are on the car, I don't care about the really bad wheels, but I can imagine it, it will look so good, it would be cool. This concludes for today. Be sure to comment, like and subscribe as always and a little preview. for something coming soon
