Funniest Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum (Princess Auto)..........

I put the 09 Fit back on the road. Listening to Sirius XM, I heard a lot of buzzing coming from the back. Shit like this drives me nuts, so I pull into the parking lot at Lake City. I switched to FM, no buzz.......... I haven't listened to a CD in quite some time, so decided to give it a shot. To my surprise, it was a Powder Blues CD. I had the volume up high. This car pulls up next to me and older couple get out. They were dropping off their daughter (I think?). Anyway, they hear the music and they start to dance to it (Swing). Other people show up and they start to groove to the music. Weird, but enjoyable. The power of music, eh?

The song playing at the time was this one.

Spoiler!


I guess it was a burned copy (compilation) of their hits. 'cause it's not on the Uncut album, which I listen to often. It was kind of neat to see the smiles on the couple's faces.

Spoiler!

Anyone know a place to paint 4 brake Calipers ? I found a vancity vinyl but I don’t mind another quote from some other place.

Reformed Design. Ask for Jason, you can name drop me.

Jpark here on RS got brake calipers done by then

If you get a quote, let us know how much. Be interested.

StylinRed 07-22-2022 11:31 PM

Actually same here if you can share your quote that'd be great

Razor Ramon HG 07-23-2022 01:18 AM

Me too, thanks

Badhobz 07-23-2022 06:38 AM

No response from Reformed Design just yet

But so far

Vancity Vinyl - 4 calipers 500 bucks cash. They do not disconnect from brake line and its done at a bodyshop. They'll mask everything, spray it, and then bake it with IR

I was hoping to see if somebody will do a properly as in a full disassembly, remove the brake lines, mask all the gaskets, etc. But i think the cost will go up significantly if they do that.

^ should do a group buy for discount on caliper paint!

Badhobz 07-23-2022 08:09 AM

i thought about it, im just worried the quality might suffer if we show up with 4-5 cars to paint

whitev70r 07-23-2022 08:14 AM

^ well, we wouldn't show up all at once, right? By appointment time. Takes 1/2 day at least?

Wouldn't hurt to ask, if I can bring a group of 4 other friends, could we have a discount of 10%?

Just DIY the thing. Clean/prep. Mask the pistons/seals and anything that contacts the pad. 2 coats caliper paint, 2 coats of 2K glamour clear

Badhobz 07-23-2022 03:59 PM

Flip if my calipers are already glossy do I need to sand it first ?

Generally, how long is the warranty on paint work at autobody shops?

I noticed some paint is starting to flake off. It's clear coat underneath though, so most likely they didn't bother sanding down the oem surface during prep and just sprayed a new coat on top.

I think it depends whether it's an ICBC claim or not... they have their own standard for repairs that they hold shops to.

If not related to a claim... then you'd have to phone the shop you got it done at to see, they'd have their own policy.

BIC_BAWS 07-23-2022 11:12 PM

I could probably see if Jason could do a group buy for us. If not maybe I could ask Jordan @ TheDipDr. I need my calipers repainted too, after track. I wonder how yellow brake calipers look on a red car.

68style 07-23-2022 11:36 PM

Like Mustard on a hot dog

Could anyone recommend a hard drive destruction/shredding service and cost?

I'm looking to recycle some computers and want to/prefer to have the data properly destroyed. Thanks!

Anyone have any suggestions on the best place to buy a shotgun at a decent price?

Cabela's, Reliable Gun, etc.?

I'm out the loop on this stuff, are trade shows any good in Canada for used firearms?
