Upgrading STOCK Brakes with Slotted Rotors//Pads & G2 Caliper Paint!

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

In today's video, we Upgrade these 18 Year Old Acura RSX Brakes into something worth looking at! We installed Centric Slotted Rotors, Stoptech Street Select Brake Pads, and Paint the OEM Brake Calipers with G2 Ceramic Caliper Paint! What a difference!
As much as I would love to upgrade and install a big Brake Upgrade on the Honda, it's just not in the budget for the build right now. Instead, I opted to give the Brake setup a refresh that looks and performs better than stock! Painting the brake calipers was a big priority considering how rusty and dusty they looks. After reading countless reviews on the G2 Ceramic Caliper Paint, I thought I would give it a go and try the application myself. On top of that, I had some Centric Blank Rotors Zinc Coated and Slotted by Rotorpros and bought Upgraded Stoptech Street Select Pads.
Prepping the Brake Calipers for Paint was key in the process. From Spraying Brake Cleaner to All purpose cleaner, I needed to clean the rusty calipers the best I could. From there, sanding the calipers and using a wire brush was able to smooth out the surface for the best adhesion possible. This is my first time painting brake calipers myself, let alone a "brush on" caliper paint. To my surprise, the G2 Caliper Paint is...very good and very easy to apply. After 3 coats, the Gloss black looked phenomenal.
Installing the brakes is pretty straight forward minus removing a stuck screw from the rotor and a wrong rear brake pad. I had cleaned the hub and painted the brake dust shield as the cherry on top. Installing slotted rotors is as easy as taking the old ones off. Just make sure to remove the brakes and hang the caliper somewhere safe. I greased the new hardware, pins, and back the brake pads. At this time, I have bedded in the brakes and they feel amazing. Smooth pedal feel and even wear on all 4 corners. Love the look and feel of this new setup!

    What I absolutely love about this video Anthony is the fact that clean AF OEM+ goals are simply achievable even with a modest budget that will definitely look great until you can drop the big bucks on big brakes! Thank you for your contribution to the community to show anything is possible with minimal effort. Anyways man, great series thus far!

    I think that this paint works a lot better for a floating caliper setup. When I used it for my brembos it ended up leaving a lot of brush strokes and was pretty frustrating. You also have to be careful as it dries on things VERY well and can be difficult to remove. Wear gloves.

    I’ll be curious to see how the G2 paint holds up for you. I used it on my calipers and it chipped in several places after less than 6 months, and it discolored (red paint turned black) in a few spots on my calipers. The discoloration did happen at a track day so I guess I managed to get the calipers hot enough to burn the paint..

I was thinking of getting the G2 caliper paint, but I saw in the reviews that it got tough to work with as the painting went on and by the end, the hardener was almost impossible to go on smooth - what was your experience? Did brush on easy the whole time? Looked great in the video, how has it held up over the last year. Thanks for great video.

    I just had the shop (couldn't get the screws in the rotors out) install the EBC USR rotors front and back, new stainless lines and Stop Tech Street Touring pads and I'm trying to figure out what is wrong. Car has been bled twice, but there is zero bite. It slows down slowly, can't make it do anything even close to stock. Shop believes the pads are junk, as did the alignment shop (installed the RCA balljoints, sway bar endlinks and rear trailing arm bushings as well). So, ordered some Project Mu B Force/Spec pads... hopefully this fixes things because it has been super disappointing.

    The rotors are one backwards I'm pretty sure. When I did my brakes for my E46, the slots in the rotors are supposed to point forward, not backwards. Also, slotted rotors DO NOT decrease stopping distance. They help with temperatures slightly, but they are really meant to help combat brake glazing.
