Green Stuff..

Just painted the rear calipers, now waiting for it to dry so I can install the rotors/pads.

^^ what did you use to paint? any pics? I'm deciding between spray type or the brush on G2

Brush on isn't bad. It is time consuming though. I used duplicolor from Canadian tire and clear coated it afterwards! Looks nice and I can see if I can find a pic of mine

Check out my build thread... There are pics on page 68 of this thread, and in my build thread. Since the color i wanted did not come in caliper paint I used Duplicolor Engine Enamel. The rears are looking a lot better than the fronts it seems so far.

vvvvvvvvvvv

i used the g2 brush kit and it worked out great! its very easy to do and it comes with everything you need to clean/prep/paint

Where did you buy the g2 kit? I was going to buy a dupli caliper color kit at CT, but I heard it chips or wears a lot quicker than the G2 paint.

not today, but something in progress over a month

So yeah, maybe I didn't do EVERYTHING myself here but I did haul the engine out myself (with help from a few friends) before I turn it to the machine shop :badpokerface:

Not my cars but:

Diagnostic and plugs on buddys Mazda6 (fuck, iridiums are spendy) (thx, Al)

Half of nabs rear brakes. One bolt was a bit rounded so he brought it over. I did one side and learned him how to do the other.

As IceBoy said... got the rear pads and rotors on today with his help, also painted the rear calipers today. pics soon.. im tired.

got it off a buddy who got it from CT.

prep is the key though. anything can look bad if its not prepped properly.

^^ I've never used the brush on kind, I'm worried that it will turn out uneven, visible paint strokes or blotchy?

cuz the colour that I want from the VHT spray can is not exactly what I'm looking for.

i think the paint self levels. just dont blob it on and itll be fine.

Did the same thing to my old del sol before, definitely makes it a bit more fresh!

^ Sadly I can't do that on my civic, otherwise the fuses will burn out.
While I was driving, the led lights were dead for like 1 minute in the dark, so I couldn't see the speedometer until it came back on but started flicking for a bit then back on. :fulloffuck:

blacked out my headlights and corner lights :fullofwin:

Friend did it for me, very very too much nice guy! Had to take a lot of verbal abuse from him during the process but it was worth it.

Out with the old and boring. In with the new and fun!
