DIY - f10 550i Caliber Brake Paint
finally i has the time to do this modification. The process is pretty easy and simple, the most time consuming is to cover the car, the brake caliber and cleaning the caliber.
Tools Used: -2 Cans of brake parts cleaner (none chlorinated) buy the cheapest one, it doesn't matter, they're all the same. -1 Can of Engine Degreaser -1 Can of VHT Engine Enamel Primer -1 Cans of VHT High Temperature Caliper paint (///M5 Blue) -1 Can of VHT Engine Enamel Gloss Clear -1 Can of Electric Cleaner (spray it on the brake sensor after wash with degreaser) - 4-5 30g trash flexa strength bags - 4 small flexa bags -1 Roll of 3M masking tape (blue) -1 Razor knife or edger -1 Needle nose pliers -1 or 2 car jacks + jack pads (is will speed up your process if you have 2 jack, even better if you have all 4 - Pairs of gloves - A bottle of Alcohol (touch up where there's oil after painted) - A metal Brush (scrubs) - WD40 (spray it on where's rusty or lube your bolts) - Flat head Phillip - Breaker Bar - Torque Bar - 17mm socket, extend bar. - A catch can or a bucket that can catch drain lube & dirt.

Did u put the sticker on than applied the clear coat or after?
Nice job! I wonder if anyone's painted the shield behind the rotor or even the hub itself where the wheel mounts against? I notice those get rust too at times. |
