Tutorial: Painting Brake Calipers | VHT Paint — G35 Sedan Drift Project

In this video tutorial I show how I like to paint brake calipers when I choose not to powder coat them. It's very rare that I choose paint over powder coat, but sometimes exceptions are made. Before powder coating, this is how I have always painted brake calipers, and it has not failed me once. These are remanufactured Akebono brake calipers from a 370z, or G37 Sport, that are making their way onto my 05 G35 sedan drift side project.
