How to Mask Brake Calipers for Painting

Hi, I'm Doug. I work with 20 great guys in St. Louis at Doug Jenkins Custom Hot Rods and we're going to do some work for you today on Expert Village. The next step in painting the Break Calipers on the GTO is masking the Calipers. Every place we don't want paint, we need to be very careful in cleaning up. So the first thing Andy's done here is stuff paper towel in the bleeder screw holes. We don't want to be, break line and bleeder screw holes. Put paper towels in there. Sometimes they have stock plugs in them. Andy can you show them that? You know there's a plug in this where the break line goes in from the factory. So we'll just leave that alone. Now he's stuffing a paper towel in one of the bolt holes so that the mechanic doesn't have to try to bust the paint out of the bolt holes when he goes to bolt these on. There's also a nice O ring in there that keeps that pin from rattling. Andy's protecting that with the paper towel as well. Next thing in preparing these Calipers for paint, Andy's going to mask off the piston for the front Caliper here. It's really hard to get the masking tape to stick to stuff like this. You pretty much have one shot. This is original rubber on the thing, you know it's brand new. So everything's got nice sealing agents on it and packing glue and grease and so he's trying to be real careful so we don't end up with paint on our seal for the front Caliper piston.
