Love your personality and being real with the audience about your most challenging part before painting. I, too, am hesitant to jack my own vehicle up at home. However, it's time to dive in and just do it so I'll be buying the tools this week. I have brand new wheels I feel comfortable installing as well now that I'm taking the plunge and doing it myself.
I appreciate that. I was in my head for days about jacking the car up and then when I did it, it was easy. You got this!
@@QueTheChaotic ended up buying jacking rails and now got addicted. Swapped my wheels for 19x10/11 a few weeks ago and now I'm painting my calipers tomorrow. On Saturday I'm going to install lowering springs. Crazy
Excellent job young man!!! I own a GT500 in velocity blue. The red/orange calipers in contrast with the blue is one of the things that attracted me to my car.
Thank you. Enjoy that beast that you have.
Great work man thanks for doing the video! Car looks bad ass with the new paint
I think you did it perfectly. Applying the paint with the small brush made a great later so when you used the big bush it stuck so well. The way the coats came on were ideal for how you would want that type of paint to spread and lay on
Thank you. I'm happy with how it turned out. I finally bought the Brembo decal to add on
Glad you made it! Nice job 😀
Excellent video. The paint job looks fantastic.
Thanks a lot!
That's good work. I think I'll do mine myself now, thanks for the video.
Thanks a lot
nice and simple tutorial man. Best one I've seen.
Thanks a lot!
Perfectly deeply detailed so I know exactly what I’m getting into with buying this stuff. It looks a lot like powder coat. The blue and orange together looks great man!
Thank you kindly
Glad I came across this video, just waiting on my custom color G2 order for my 2016 mustang gt and have been thinking that I should have ordered 2 kits. But after seeing how many coats you got on your beautiful GT350 I think 1 kit will be enough. Nice job looks awesome
Thanks a lot! I didn't know you could do custom. Keep the coats light and you're good
That's mega nice bro. They pop with that beautiful blue paint on the car. Good job.
Thanks a lot
Great video bro. Love the intro 🔥
That ‘Stang is wicked bro!
Looks great! Whenever you're painting by hand for the first time it a learning process. Like you said, till you hit your stride!
Thanks a lot!
Dude! These are dope!! Great job!!
Thank you
Looks nice man!
Nice work bro, did my car today with a calliper spray can, like you not comfortable jacking up the car on stands etc but now that its done 8hrs later, feels heaps rewarding doing it 💯
Good stuff. I imagine the spray can being much easier
Looks really nice, good work.
Thank you very much!
GREAT JOB THE ORANGE POPS OUT AGAINST THE BLUE !
Thank you
It looks great! I love the color on your 350
Thanks!
looks awesome
Love the color choice
Thank you much
Looks awesome
Great job. Your car looks and sounds amazing. I'm gonna try this on my 2011 gt. It's Kona blue I'm thinking red calibers, hope it turns out as nice as yours.
Thanks a lot. That’s a great color and red will make it pop. My best advice is just start with light coats and take your time. Thanks!
Great job. Looks good
Thanks 👍
I’m 2 minutes and 43 seconds in and this is the best video so far. I had to comment real quick. Bought to finish the video !!!
Lol! Glad you enjoyed!
Thanks for the lengthy video with all sorts of tips and even sharing things that didn’t go so well like nearly running out of paint. I thought since they are actual Brembo’s that you may try to paint around the logo, or try to get a Brembo sticker to put on afterwards, are they even available ?
Thanks a lot! Check my latest video. I just installed the stickers from a site called Bemaro
Looks dope 👍
Thanks
You did a real good job 👏. I Customize calipers as well but I use a Auto paint production I get made in a Airsoft can through my supplier. But For your personal car this is a great way to test thing out. Im also glade you put that tire and jack underneath your car after jacking it up. Also where you got the jack 👀 at in the middle of the car. You could of lifted it there and then put the two jacket stands under with 1 lift, instant of two lifts. It saves time. Thanks for the video. Peace ✌🏾
Thanks for the comment. I wasn't comfortable with any of this process. It turned out great though. I wanted to save time jacking the car up but I wasn't sure where lol. The jack pads only fit close to the tires on this car. Spraying would have been much easier
there's no pinch weld in the middle of the car, you can't do that without steeda/bmr jacking rails
It came out really good though.
Outstanding
Thank you
Good job man! That looks so dope i just bought my G2 caliper paint set. How long do you have to let it cure? Can i let it cure for at least 12 hours?
I forgot. It's in the instructions though. I parked it for a day
Great job!!!!!
Thanks!
I am going to do this to my truck thank you for sharing # 🚗 🚘
It’s a fun project. Thanks for watching
Really looks nice Great Job…
Thank you
I'm late to the party ha! Nice work! Great car! I ordered the G2 kit. One question, did the brush strokes level out? Is it a smooth finish? Thanks for the video it is very helpful.
Thanks a lot. The brush strokes evened out. Just make light, even coats. I sometimes wonder if spraying them would have been better. But they still look good. Even after taking it to the track
Looks good bro
Thank you
Great job and thanks for sharing. I would throw a decal on the front calipers.
Thanks a lot! I ended up adding them later
you painted the pad calliper pin?????
Great video, I’m about to paint my 18’ Saleen calipers..
Nice bro ! 👍🏽
Thanks!
Like your video. Want to do this on my Mustang. You should definitely invest in set of Kenny Brown jacking rails so you won't mess up your pinch welds.
That orange looks fantastic on your blue Mustang. Tips for others interested in doing this and in no way referring to this video as his calipers were NOT glossy to begin with. I*f ourn calipers to be painted are glossy, sand thoroughly areas to be painted with 100-120 grit sandpaper after cleaning with brake clean to G2 paint can adhere better, then brake clean again and I like to wipe it dry with a clean lint free cloth or blue shop paper towels as it cleans much better than just spraying brake clean. In Canada, you do NOT get a can of brake clean in the kit due to shipping restrictions to Canada. If remembering correctly, I use about 2 cans of brake clean for one vehicles. And do NOT use the brush in the kit. The bristles will likely come off in your paint. The brush kit shown in this video or similar from an art supply store or Home Depot is what I’ve used many times using G2 with zero issues. And this paint is thick and gets tacky quickly so do not brush back and forth too often or brush strokes will be visible when it dries. G2 paint is a very durable paint unless hit with tools or gravel(roads) and driving quicker than you should on those roads.
When you said you were painting your calipers orange i thought to myself self “What the…???”. But after seeing the end result i have to say that they look amazing on your car. Great job!!!!
Thank you
Nice job. How have they held up? It’s pretty easy to take off the calipers and pads and rotor and then put the caliper back on and paint it. I think I would suggest doing that, but I haven’t done it myself yet.
I was too scared. They held up even after a track day and beating on the car. I recommend.
Bad ass ride man
Thank you
Nice work you alright. Thanks
Nice job!
Thanks!
Damn good job!
Thanks!
All the hard graft was worth it. The results look smashing. I hope it's as good close up?
It's still holding up. Looking good too. Light coats was the key even though it took forever
Great Video!
Thanks!
Awesome Look 😎.
Thank you
That cold start tho?🔥
When you 1st put that paint brush on those rotors, I was thinking aw shit he F*** them up!! LOL Finished product looks clean. You definitely have the patience for sure! I would have grabbed that spray paint and called it. HA HA Got you a new sub here!
Lol! Thanks a lot!. That first coat had me so worried. It still looks great! But yeah a spray paint would have been way easier. I need to find a good brand for next time
Na that 350 look good with the red!!!!! 😍 wish u would’ve covered the brembro lettering ✨
I added them later. In grabber blue. It pops
Nice... thx for the vid
You're welcome
Looks Awesome, just did my '18 mustang in red my car is blk, and Dat shit is poppin!!! 😎💯
Thanks!
Turned out great. I see you've posted this video a yr ago. Hows the paint holding up now?
I sold the car a couple months ago but it held up well. Even after a track day. I put brembo stickers on too
Bro get jack rails. Make lifting mustangs in your driveway sooo much easier and protects the pinch welds. Awesome job with the calipers 🤙
Thanks a lot. I started to order some from Steeda but I sold it
Bro really said “your moms knee pads”. Good one
Lol!
Awesome! This looks great and has inspired me to paint mine! Any reason you did not put the Brembo stickers on?
Thanks a lot! I ended up getting the brembo logos in grabber blue. It really popped.
The new calipers look🔥🔥good thing you painted them instead of paying $2k for new ones😂
Thanks. Right lol
Hey man what did you use to clean your wheels and calipers when you had the G2 on it?
I used the pressure washer and it blasted all the dirt off. A regular car wash mitt for the spots it missed
"your mom's knee pads" ..... I actually just spit coffee out when you low-key said that. Awesome!
LOL! It was so subtle
Ebay sells high temp Brembro decals that work and look really good.
Thanks for the tip! I ended up getting decals in grabber blue from Bemaro
How did you get the pinch weld adapter on there and still get it under the car???? I have to use a low profile jack, go up a little bit then put another jack (same exact one you have), under the car then lift it up higher then repeat the other side. You only used 1 AND the pinch weld part 😮…. Must sit higher than my 08’
I’m not sure
@@QueTheChaotic 😂 okay
Nice Video...awesome
Thank you!
I need my calipers painted but cant tell if this paint is worth it or just go powder coating through someone. I'm sure this paint looks great but the problem is a year or 2 down the line if it's going to look the same
After a year it was looking good. Even after a track day. It's a great way to save money.
@@QueTheChaotic appreciate the response! So you obviously have the 6 piston fronts, i have the 4 pistons which are slightly smaller but still think i can get 4 coats on all them? How many did you end up getting on all of them? I have a need for green mustang and want to do the gold so bad. Beautiful 350 btw
@@BrayZap thanks a lot. I have sold it since. It was 3 good coats. The 4th was a little light
@@QueTheChaotic no way why would you sell that?! Cool i mean as long as yours turned out that good i hope mine does
@@BrayZap I kept it for a year. I have a car problem lol. Feel free to check out my channe. I have a ZL1 Camaro now
Did you end up putting the Brembo decals back on?
I did.
@@QueTheChaotic did you put clear over top of them once you put them on?
@@titans4life94 I didn’t
It is nice
That red is brite brotha. What paint did you use?
Spraying it seems easy and fast but you might paint other things unintentionally but the brushes mean you will paint only the parts you brush….I might use the brushes
Spraying would be much easier. It's G2 paint. I linked it in the description
Where do u buy the reactor at?
Comes in the kit
Add the finish touch of painting On Brembo or add the decal. Looks sharp though.
Thank you. I ordered the Brembo decals. I may put them on this weekend
@@QueTheChaotic dont forget after the decal, a couple of coats of high temp clear to seal it in bro.
@@sorianosn great idea. Thanks!
Why didn't you use a blue paint that was close to the car body color?
Too much blue. I had orange emblems with brembo written in blue on them
Now ya need to get ya some Brembo stickers on them
I ended up adding them later in Grabber Blue
Was this the competition orange you used?
It was just called orange from G2. It looks close to competition orange
@@QueTheChaotic okay great that’s what I’m looking for. Thanks man
@@itscoming9409 feel free to check out my IG. I have some pics of this car posted.
@@QueTheChaotic definitely I appreciate it! I have a comp orange Gt so I’m looking for as close to the color as I can get. I have dark bronze Ferradas on the car and I think it would look good with this color behind them
@@itscoming9409 oh yeah I think this would be perfect. I love competition orange. Some of my pics came out more red but it’s definitely orange
That's why it's better to remove the caliper and use caliper spray paint than manually painting the caliper.
Lol man you're brave, I am not jacking up any car that costs over 60k lol.
Lol i feel the same way. I'm trying to get comfortable with it
Putting the tires underneath was a smart move.
Kendrick Lamar rapping and working on cars!!! Super dope bruh!! Paint them calipers like uhhhhhhh!! Prep them paint like uhhhhhhh.
Some one else said that recently. Yeah that prep sucked lol
"your moms knee pads" lmaoooo
😆😆😆
It does look good but there's no way I would have painted over the brembo lettering and symbol I would have left them they way they were or painted them white but still all in all good job definitely better then the boring non noticeable Grey color for sure!
I ended up putting blue Brembo lettering on them
IT WOULD HAVEVWENT ON BETTER IF YOU WOULD HAVE SCUFFED CALIPERS UP WITH SCOTCH PAD
It’s nice! But using a spray can paint for calibers are faster. The way you taped up is good and all you need to get a plastic bag over the disc and it’ll be done! Just sayin! Lol
Bruh orange chevy on a ford mustang gt350 this guys a savage 😂 🤣
Lol! My new Camaro is grabber blue
Nice but damn you painted over the “brembo” wording. To me that’s what’s makes the brakes unique
Thank you. I just added them back last week in a different color. Here's the link kzhead.info/sun/aJqidMqghqKsZGg/bejne.html
I'm still trying to grow the balls to put my car on jack stands so I can do this 😂
😆😆😆 that was me. This one is easy with that weld pinch. There isn’t much room for error
I applied 4 coats of Yellow on the calipers because the paint was not covering. Becoming disapointed with the product. I did have plenty of paint for the project so that was not the issue. The issue was that it did not cover the calipers completely. It just kept bleeding through. Might want to use a primer first.
I think primer would be the key. I would be skeptical on lighter colors. Or just add more coats
Funny how I’m looking how to do this and the color I want is the color he doesn’t want
You forgot the brembo decal on the brakes
I put them on another day. Grabber blue bremo letters
I'd left the brembo area alone and paint all the other, maybe it's just me.
They sell the Brembo caliper stickers that I can put on. I may end up doing that
@@QueTheChaotic 👍👍👍
Buy 5 cans remove the caliper and dip them in a bucket
G2 is a great product but they're ripping you off with the amount of paint for $70. I purchased a kit 5yrs ago and my can was full but now they give a half a can worth for the same price.
Lmao ya mom Knee pads
lol!
pls buy stickers
I added them later
n
Did you give your mom her knee pads back?
Bro you disrespected them brembos bad lmfao!
NOT REALLY
@@gurutimes2 yes really. They are way too expensive lol
By by. No Camaro no me.
See you when I get a ZL1?
@@QueTheChaotic just subscribed. Best of luck with your journey
Why did you do this? 😅 Plenty of custom paint shops, no more than $600. Damn shame.
This was only $60. Why wouldn't I?
@@QueTheChaoticthat dude is trippin, you did well!
