Eastwood's powder coating gun works GREAT for the money. But to make MUCH more efficient, you have to remove that diffuser and use very low pressure.

Those calipers are going to look amazing on the car, Bryan. Good job, buddy!👌

Great video man. Very nice for a first timer. Advice: remove the tip of the PC gun, lower the air pressure, you were overspraying at some point and the air filter aka water trap works better if you use it closer to the gun, meaning the other side of the hose. Next time you’ll do even better 👌🏻

For all of those inquiring, yes he removed the pistons and seals. This is the 3rd installment of a 3 video process. (How to remove the brake calipers[1], How to clean the brake calipers[2], and lastly, How to powder coat the brake calipers[3]). 👍🏻

Why? Besides the exhaust, brakes are the hottest operating parts of the car. Seals can withstand much higher temps than a PC oven. Even to the point the powder coating burning is a concern.

Always wondered how to do this. Thanks for sharing, now to decide which color!

Awesome video as usual, Brian!!! You are so clear with the video and the instructions!!!

Nice job on the virgin powder coating! Those came out quite nice. I'm anxious to see how that yellow looks once installed back on the car.

Awesome as always

Awesome vid makes it look so easy

that's way cool! I'd like to do my wheels in gold but don't think they'd fit in my oven lol

This is dope

What about the o ring and seal with the 400F

glad you decided to replace seals. I was freaking out like "noooooo, you just heated the seals to 400 degrees. them bitches are gonna rip within the month"

Calipers get a hell of a lot hotter than 400°.

Do those caliper fit on a x1 ?

Does anyone know if power coating calipers can withstand track use?

How has this held up? The eastwood powder coat used in the video is rated at 250 degrees F max?

Right. You need to use high-temp powder. Eastwood doesn't sell any, so this guy didn't mention it.

Do you offer powder coating services for brake calipers?

Whether automation is possible for these parts

You should do your V brace behind the grill

what is the difference between spray paint from powder , just for asking

Powder is a harder type of paint, since it isnt really paint. You see it on alot of heavy duty machinery etc.

Did you only use one pound for this?

Get BlackVue DR900S front and rear dash cam and hardwire it with power magic pro.

Don’t need to remove the seals. They experience higher temps on the track. There’s a lot of supporting information on that. And, you can cure at 390F. And yeah - wear eye protection and definitely- a filter mask, kid. Long sleeves. PPE is important.

So you’re saying there’s no need to tear down brake calipers to powdercoat them? I haven’t seen any literature on this, but I always assumed they had to be torn down to coat so nothing internal or the external seals would be damaged.

Always best to remove everything, what he doesn’t say if there is any grease or fluids trapped anywhere when heated up they will drip over the part while in the oven

Good job but should of put powder primer on first and never touch when hot can leave finger prints on it use welding gloves to lift rack out an put somewhere cooler

Trying to watch the caliper series but the prep video shows as no longer available. Hoping to see this: Video Two: How to Prep Calipers for Powder Coating: • Video

What about outgassing? This import with brake calipers they are porous and hold oil . Under heat these oils wil ruptsure and release to the surface .leaving you with an inferior spray job. So why not before coating ,you put in oven to outgass riding the deep porous pockets of oil , grease and grime. Then if you spray you get a better job in the end. Just look it up , you should already know.

take the diffuser off the gun. that wide diffuser is best for large parts.

You don’t remove plastic seal inside piston when you take it inside oven

No, it's just powder. For it to actually stick to anything, you need to bake it at 400 degrees for 20 minutes and it melts down. I just blew off the car with an air nozzle and wiped it down

You should have NOT mentioned using the wife's oven period. It is very toxic, and it should be a dedicated over for powder coated parts. Secondly, the pistons and dust covers should have been removed, the part prebaked (to remove contaminates), THEN cleaned/sand blasted.

Hey. Beginner guide doesn't help if it mean this dummy (this guy aka me) has no idea how to properly remove without leaking the brake fluid..
