DIY- Painting Disc calipers & Drums!

All you need for this DIY is a paint spray can, jack, spanner, news papers, and some patience :D


To start with, jack your car and take your tyre off,



due to the indian conditions your disc caliper is full of dust and oil on it, this doesnt allow the paint to settle on it so use " metal thinner" to clean the caliper



cover the isc and other parts with newspaper spo that the paint doesnt settle on any other part except the caliper



now spray the paint all over the caliper and let it dry, after its dry spray another coat for a better finish
after the second coat is dry, take out all the covering



now put bac your tyre and dont forget to tighten the screws



repeat the same procedure for the other front tyre
coming to the back tyre
jack itup and remove the tyre

\

clen the drum with thinner,cover the screws so that paint doesnt settle on it, else you will face problems in fitting the bolts,



spray the paint and let it dry, repeat this for 2times for a better finish



remove the covering on the screws and install the tyre back,






there you go, you are done with the diy clap
have fun guys and dont forget to use gloves so that you dont urt yourself in anyways :plz:

half bottle is more than eneough dude, i applied 3coats and still there is plenty of paint left in the can, i guess the left over paint can be used to paint another car's calipers and drums
