Painting Calipers for Extra Horsepower

1. Eric you're back! We have missed you! Been checking every day for a new ETCG video!!

2. Good to see your video pop up. You are missed as you have become a part of daily/weekly life for some people over the last decade. Be well.

3. Red adds the most power too!! Good choice!!

4. The man myth legend

5. Well Eric I missed watching your wonderful videos watching from South Africa

6. You’re baaaaaack!

7. I'm glad you posted a new video Eric and I hope you have a decent shop or at least a temporary shop to do your business, your hobby/craft and I hope you're doing well in general.

8. i'm not painting my calipers but i clicked on this quick.

9. I think they look bad because of all the rust that was on them. Not worth it.

10. I came over to click like just for the title, but great video. Quick, concise, no BS. 🙂

11. hmmm, the question is, if you smooth off the rough casting surface then paint the calipers gloss will they be more slippery though the air or would they be better smoothed off and polished because the lack of paint will make the vehicle lighter, while we are there, you have front brakes, would ditching the extra weight of a rear caliper set and lines save more weight?

    one of the new systems i been using over here is bluetooth braking, you get a sender unit (the master) and the four calipers are small hydraulic bluetooth receivers, this gives you ultimate control on the fly over brake balance and needs no brake pipe fabrication

12. Nice to see you back. Hope you had a nice time off.

13. I painted mine and instantly felt like I had 200shot of nitrous

14. I've used G2 – awesome product

15. Red calipers add 3 hp each. 👍👍👍

16. I always thought painting calipers adds braking performance? Red being the best

17. Glad to see your back, hope to see more soon.

18. I bought the white paint,still looking good over 10 years.

19. porsche would be like: oh you want your calipers red? thats extra $2400 or something

20. You should have free time.now to deliver us the 4, 5 year old Fairmont videos. I've been waiting a long time for those

21. Welcome back!

22. Haha cool , welcome back hope to see more videos soon ciao

23. You definitely get way better finish painting new calipers. Though a lot of work, I have used bondo on old and new calipers and sanded to get a nice flat finish on the surfaces you can see. If you have to use old rusty calipers. It also helps to plasticize the rust first. Turns the rust all black and gives a good surface for paint. Bondo first and then plasticize the rust to get the best result. Use Never Seize on the neck of the bleeding nipple threads and brake line threads so you never have to change the caliper again. Don't never seize the entire threads. You don't want it contaminating the brake fluid. Of 40 years with this method It's never contaminated the brake fluid. Never had to change a caliper a second time. Holds up well to car washes.

24. Great hearing from u! Hope all is well. And hope to see alot of u!

25. Eric great to see you back,Good Bless You.
