How to Mix Primer Paint for Painting Brake Calipers

Video Transcript

"Hi! I'm Doug. I work with twenty 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. Now Andy is going to mix a one step, non-catalyzed primer surface that has etching properties in it for rust-proofing on the material. So he'll pour up to the number one of the material, and then it's marked at 30% but this product is to be mixed at 50% with the reducer, so he'll hit it right about there. You can use the numbers on the side of the container as well but Andy's more used to using the stick than the marks on the side of the container. There's a more elaborate process of rust-proofing when we're doing a whole car but for brake calipers, they're not real highly susceptible to rust because they're right out in the open they stay dryer, but for a car body we use a two step process of etch priming and sealing."
