Caliper Rust

Is this product enough for all four brake calipers on a 2008 G35XS? Or Do I need 2 cans?

Aerosol 7 oz. 1 hr. 24 hrs. __ 1200° F 50° to 90° F Satin: Metallic Silver 7721T37 15.10

Thank You

That is the correct part #7721T37. One can will do all 4 calipers and rotors no problem. Being that the pigment is basically a stainless steel powder it covers very well.. You will use less of this stuff compared to regular paint..Should still have a little extra as well.

thanks for the detailed info on this diy. Nasty, rusty rotors plague so many G's, I was even watching a video on YouTube for Vertini wheels and a close up on the video showed a great looking G coupe with rusty rotors of all things!
I'll be doing this soon, will post pics before/after bc my rotors look disgusting right now!

Well, I believe it's gotta in the FSM which is available for free when you register at Infinitihelp.com. Nothing like getting it right from the horse's mouth.

Holy crap, how'd I miss this

THIS INFO IS MISLEADING !!!

You are quoting the first newton-meter value. The correct SAE torque values in the manual are the last value given in parenthesis. A typical torque notation format is :

xx N-m ( xx kg-m, xx ft.-lb.) [where the wrench symbol is white with a black background]
and
xx N-m ( xx kg-m, xx in.-lb.) [where the wrench symbol is black with a white background]

SO, in the case of the mono-piston sport brakes, the listing is shown as: 132.5 ( 14, 98 ) and has a symbol of a white wrench on black background.
This means the torque spec is 98 ft.lbs. If someone tightened to 132 ft.lbs. they'd likely strip or at least stretch the threads on the bolt.

Likewise, the other torque specs you've listed in their newton-meter values as well. Given specs:

24.0 (2.4, 18) , the value should be 18 ft.lbs.
and
27.5 (2.8, 20) , the value should be 20 ft.lbs.

Just to confirm, this stuff is good for spraying rotors? I just put new ones on and they had what looked like rust stains on them within a week.. I used some 0000 steel wool on them and soap and they look completely disgusting now. I need to paint them. lol. This stuff is good to do a full rotor spray?

Yea, anything touching the pads will wear off when you use them. I sprayed my entire rotors, of course I minimized the amount on the contact area.
