Default Caliper paint done!!!!

Soo I went to autozone, $18 later I bought the duplicolor red brush-on ceramic caliper paint.


I took my time and put on 2 coats.


I absolutely recommend this paint to anyone who wants their pony to look like a saleen!!!!!!!!!!

Oh yeah its great. Ok heres some info. $18 is worth it.- comes with a big can on break cleaner, a brush, (but I liked using a foam brush for smoothness and a small paint brush for small areas)

I did one wheel at a time, jack it up, pull the tire off, use a wire brush and remove oxidation and spray with breakcleander. Use alittle making tape to cover some of the boots. You will know which ones

I took my time and took almost 45 min per wheel. but lilke I said, I took my time and put on 2 coats.

By the time you finnish the first coat on each wheel, let it sit, go wash your tire, put it in the sun, and go put on 1 more coat on the calipers.



DONT BUY AN $80 KITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTt!

for me it was a leisurely saturday job but I am sure it can be done within two hours if you work fast.

Oh and by the time you put on the second coat, immediately bolt on the tire, and it'll be dry!
