I think I would deploy the steps and use a spray on lithium grease on the pivot points. Then open and close a few times to spread it out. There aren't any grease nipples or anything of that nature. You could use Ceratek grease too - the modern stuff for brakes instead of copper grease.

I don't think I would do this to rotors, the surface left over is quite coarse. When I do calipers I paint the hubs at the same time - but I use a brush and 2 pack polyeurethane paint straight on to the metal. Prep it with a wire brush and/or scotch pad, do the same with the disc edge, then clean with brake cleaner and allow to dry. 2 pack poly leaves a really nice finish when brushed on, I use a satin black and it just disappears once the wheels are back on. It doesn't stand out but it is clean and durable. It will see the discs out!

I like the fact it flashes red and blue like Police lights. The ambient lighting in the C238 is on another level.

@@perauto I like it too but if it blinks fast it would look like police siren

​@@rangeroverguyxbmwgirlit only does it when the alarm goes off lol

Buy the best you can afford, especially for the compressor, it makes a big difference. I've upgraded to a pressure cabinet now rather than a suction feed and ot is so much better. I'm running an ABAC Genesis 1108 compressor on 1/2" supply.

It doesn't hurt the rubber because the grit bounces off, it only really works of hard surfaces. The other advantage is there is no chance of getting grit/dust in the oil galleries. I leave the bleed nipple in - I always replace them once painted - and use an old one in the inlet for the hydraulic fluid. I have a range of machine screws that fit most hose connections if they aren't 10x1mm thread.

@@perauto that's what I thought. Plugged inside and filled with paper than masked. Mask came off. Technically it is still good but I didn't like it. Will leave the cilynders there and booth. Appreciate the help brother. Will refer to your video on my video 👍

I think this was J Blast.

Iron silicate/J Blast.

Nevermind. Someone already asked 😀

Lol

It's a medium J Blast, not sure how that would compare. It's Iron silicate.

Yes, it doesn't damage them. Done hundreds now with no issues. It would be more of an issue blasting with the piston bores open. Why won't the paint job look very nice with the dust cover and piston masked off?

You'll want to paint them, they will rust, unless they are cast aluminium which won't rust but they will stain.

@@perauto Thank you for your answer!

I think that was a medium J blast - iron silicate. Pressure would have been 6 bar ish. We have a new cabinet now, pressure cabinet, and I haven't used this one gor a while.

You'll want to clean them really well, we use brake cleaner and let it evaporate. Then mask anything you dont want to paint. Once that is done you're good to go.

@@perauto I purchased remanufactured brake calipers from a store and I'm trying to paint them. So, do I need to sand them down with sandpaper and perhaps a wire wheel or do they already come sandblasted?? Thanks

@@Zeberka767 they will probably be dipped. I would use a scotch pad to key the surface and paint onto that. Read the instructions for the paint you have chosen and follow those though!
