My Pro Touring 69 Camaro Gets Corvette C6 Z06 BIG Brake Upgrade!

Had some big ole C6 Z06 calipers hanging around so I decided the 69 Camaro deserves a bigger set of disc brakes! But I couldn't toss them on without giving them a fresh coat of paint!

    G'day Chris, as a custom car builder and fabricator myself, for the past 17-years, your attention to detail is definitely impressive and appreciated mate. I am OCD AF, and it definitely rubs off on me employees 😢....Although, I reckon that might be good? I've painted an absolute crapload of calipers over the years. I'm just curious mate, why you didn't brand or stencil all four calipers with the same name or logo...Like AP Racing, EBC, Brembo, or a custom logo? Regardless, that blue metallic paint is an absolute beaut of a colour. The metallic flake projects ridiculously under direct light. The deep silver base on your car (is that a Mercedes-Benz colour) with blue accents, looks fuggin gorgeous mate! She just needs to be slightly lowered on all fours, and her rear needs a 12-bolt. Thanks for the great video and amazing content mate. Cheers from Margaret River, Western Australia 🇦🇺.

    use a peice of hose on the bleader and insert it into a 1/4 filled plastic bottle make sure hose in bottle is submerged in brake fluid open bleader and pump the brakes slowly works for me everytime . my favorite is a 20 oz. Coke plastic clear bottle 'with the hose submerged it lets air out but can only suck fluid back .plus you dont need someone to pump the brakes . it never seems to suck fluid back just removes the air . pinch hose when removing from bleader close as you can to the nipple of bleader this will prevent getting fluid on your new painted calipers . OLD SCHOOL TRICK keep master cylinder about 3/4 full and check level after bleeding each wheel .
