Before & After Brake Caliper Painting
Custom Brake Caliper Painting for Tesla Model X
We recently gave a set of brake calipers from a Tesla Model X a stunning makeover.
First, we stripped them down to bare metal with a thorough sandblasting process, removing all traces of exisint coatings, dirt and corrosion. Next, we used our four-stage paint process which features an anti-corrosion layer for lasting protection and a high-quality clear coat for a durable, long-lasting shine.
We replaced the Tesla logo with an identical set made in-house and applied it before the clear coat for maximum durability.
Once the paint was fully cured, we rebuilt the braking system using high-performance Ceratek ceramic grease and thread lock where necessary. To ensure optimal performance and safety, we pressure bled the hydraulic system using premium Brembo Dot 4 brake fluid.
Brake Caliper Painting Process
As part of our brake caliper painting process, we conduct pre and post-work diagnostic checks, and we possess the specialized tools necessary to perform the work safely. We can handle modern brake-by-wire systems, carbon ceramic braking systems, as well as traditional systems.
Strip
We remove braking components from the car, drain them, and plug the oil galleries. Next we sandblast all components back to bare metal and perform solvent cleaning before painting. We also clean and paint the spring clips and pad retaining pins as necessary.
Paint
Before painting we mask off the pistons and machined faces before applying paint in four stages: anti-corrosion, primer, base (colour), and clear coat. We apply any logos before the clear coat to ensure maximum durability. We use only top-quality paints and ultra-high solids clear coat, and you can choose any color you like as long as there is a color code for it.
Refit
When we rebuild the calipers we use new bleed valves. Ceratek grease is used for pad fitting and we use thread lock on fixings as needed. If you’d like to change them, we can also fit new pads and discs at this stage. Next, we pressure bleed the hydraulic system, torque the wheels, and conduct a road test on the car.
Performance Upgrades
EBC Brake Pads & Discs
Performance brake pads and brake discs are a great upgrade for your car, and changing them while your brakes are off and being painted makes a lot of sense. We are able to supply and install upgraded components from EBC that not only improve your braking performance, the dimpled & grooved discs look great too. Let us know you’re interested in this upgrade when making an enquiry and we’ll give you a quote.
Stainless Steel Braided Brake Lines
Most cars come from the factory with rubber brake hoses, and whilst they do a great job they can be improved upon. Rubber hoses expand very slightly when pressure from the brake pedal is applied to the braking system, this means not all of the pressure goes to the caliper. Stainless Steel Braided Hoses stop this because the fluid carrying PTFE hose is prevented from expanding by the steel braiding. That means all of the pressure you apply to the pedal goes to the calipers improving pedal feel and initial bite. They come in a range of colours and have stainless steel fittings that are a direct replacement for the original hose. We supply and install bespoke hoses from HEL Performance.
Titanium Bleed Nipples
Titanium is an incredibly strong, lightweight metal uses in hi-tech applications from aerospace to racing. One of the advantages of titanium is it doesn’t corrode and it doesn’t react with aluminium. They are a brilliant upgrade for Brembo and other performance calipers using the standard M10x1mm valves.
Motul RBF 660 Perfformance Brake Fluid
Motul RGB 660 is a leading DOT4 performance brake fluid suitable for all vehicles using glycol based braking systems including ABS. It is perfect for fast road and track use, maintaining brake performance and excellent pedal feel at temperatures up to 45% higher than required by the DOT4 standard. With this upgrade we completely flush your old fluid and replace it with this.
