Wink My 1st Mod! Painted calipers and rotors.

Well, I finally got around to doing this, and it was well worth the time and effort! It was a fantastic day for doing this on Sat., and my pit crew was revved up!



Here is a pic of a rear caliper prepped for paint.




The G2 kit for Eastwood is a little pricey, but is very easy to apply... Especially when all is dismantled.

Here is a couple of pics of the calipers with the wheels off. The paint levels off real nice to a high gloss finish with 2 coats. Use a 1" foam brush for the larger areas...
