NOTICE: We would like to show you the painting of the brake calipers with this tutorial, but we would like to point out that we do not accept any liability for the correctness. We do not assume any liability for the topicality and correctness, nor for the completeness or quality of the information provided. Liability claims against us - for example due to material or immaterial damage that may arise due to the use of information in this report - are fundamentally excluded within the legally permissible framework.

Step 1: roughly clean

Step 2: Remove dirt, rust, etc.

Note: The included wire brush from Foliatec is robust and well-intentioned, but in our opinion no Replacement for a drill with brush attachment. We cleaned our brake system with the drilling machine in order to create the optimal basis.

Step 3: clean with brake cleaner

Step 4: Mask off the brake

The brake should you extensive Mask off. There must be no paint on the rails of the guide bolts, the bleed screw or the pads on the brake pads. The holes for the spring clip must also remain free of paint and a little tape is also useful for the brake disc. Info: Our vehicle then got new windows and receipts all around, which is why we decided not to tape it! Vent screw and companions have remained without color!

Step 5: Apply first coat

Info: If possible, prepare all four brake calipers for painting beforehand. The paint can only be used for around 2 hours without any problems - then it begins to harden. If all four braking systems have already been prepared, work can be carried out quickly without any problems and there is no risk of the paint hardening before completion.

Step 6: Apply second coat

at least 2 x painting

Don't worry - although the total amount of paint seems anything but extensive, it is more than sufficient. White is certainly one of the less suitable colors because the opacity is lower than with other colors. That's why we painted each brake caliper a third time and at the end of the entire Phaeton's brake system we still had a lot of paint left. We would like to mention that the Phaeton's front brake system in particular has a really large brake caliper and yet the amount of paint is more than enough.

The result is impressive

is presentable…

In our opinion, the campaign was completely worth it. The result is really impressive. For a little bit of self-promotion, we still got heat-resistant for the front axle tuningblog.eu logos (Brake caliper sticker) which we ordered in a few days Will present the photo story.
