Yeah - looks great - just have to be careful just about everywhere you drive... almost thinking about raising it a bit for winter now.... sigh - 6 months of shitty weather!

Jason, Ever think of painting your calipers? I just did mine black this past weekend, and it honestly doesn't come out too bad. I used Duplicolor's brush on kit (available at CT) because I didn't want to deal with masking everything, and because I did black, it honestly looks great with 2 coats. I'm pretty confident that even with a spray can, the 'smooth and reflective' look isn't possible without grinding down the calipers with an angle grinder or the likes. Between jacking up both ends of the car, removing/replacing the rims, and preping the calipers, it took all of 2 and a bit hours to do. PS. Duplicolor's shade of blue would go quite well with the lugs and Sonic blue.

Hey there - The backs have been shot with cast iron colour just to cover some of the rust. I have the duplicolour red kit, I just have not gotten around to it. The fronts still look like shit because the car is too low for my jack - so I have not been able to take the front wheels off since I put the coilovers on. I want to raise it a bit for the winter - so I won't be such a lazy ass and will get out the OEM jack to raise it a bit to fit my floor jack under there. When I am adjusting the coilovers, I'll give it a shot of paint.... if time permits before it gets too cold. Jason |

I'm not going to lie, with the Dupli Color brush on kit, there's probably enough paint to do 5 cars, no lie.-- AND that's with 2 coats on calipers, + single coat on the dust shield behind the front rotors was it? I did 2 coats on all four rotors, and I'm pretty sure I'm not even 1/4 way through the can of paint-- I'm not sure if its my application technique (more thin layers = better--+ I painted houses the entire summer), but there's more than enough to go around. Just be sure to use something more 'substantial' than a 'toothbrush' as they suggested-- I used a steel bristled brush. Also, if you have sensitive skin or have open cuts on your hand, USE A GLOVE-- the prep spray consists of something that feels like acetone, and BURNS LIKE NO END on cuts. PLENTY to spare.
