Oh snap you're doing well then haha that would be wicked man would make the trip for me even more worth it

today I painted my brake calipers and rear drums...

unfortunately my personalised plates were colour coded to another car so I painted them gold so the numberplate doesn't look odd... lol

Short ram air intake with pod filter and magnaflow exhaust on order...

damn man that looks good, suits the car!

i was a bit iffy about the gold at first... but wanted to do something different because everyone goes for the "go fast" colours... red is really over done... so classy yet a little flashy and doesn't attract TOO much attention...

I like it. Love the gold. So much nicer than the red IMO :)

What brand did you use? Did you do primer and clear?

What headers did you use Bobby? They look awesome! ;)

no primer... just 4 coats... and i used VHT Caliper paint... $16.95 @ Auto Barn...

used a wire brush to scrub the outside and sprayed it with K&H Wax and grease remover (degreaser solvent - quick dry), then used the heat gun on it to make sure it was 100% dry... after that just 4 light coats of the VHT Caliper Paint... the longest part was waiting for each coat to touch dry 100% before putting the next coat on... about 10 mins in between each coat...

I did mine gold back in the day, looks good imo. Nice work :thumbsup:
