Rep Power: 563

Hey guys..
I'm not sure if this belongs in another area but here goes..
I wanna paint my rear drums and callipers but I'm not sure about a couple of things.

1) I had to drive my car last winter and there's corrosion on the drums, what's the best way to get rid of before I paint them.

2) is there a DIY on how to PROPERLY paint the callipers? or is this pretty much an easy task.

3) Can someone recommend a good brake kit in case I decide to forgo this job.

Thanks all!

1) electric drill with a wire brush head...you'll be done in no time.

2) Pretty easy to do...easier if you get a paint kit that uses a brush, as opposed to spraycans...slower, though.

3) AEM and Brembo are some of the best kits around also Spoon/Nissin...

1) Just like Silver2k1Dood said

2) Dont get the Brush Paint, they cost too much...the ones i used cost $7.00...it's has big "VHT" lable on it........just simply take out whatever
it's connect to the calipers and start spray it...the drums are easy...just pull it out, put a little force on it [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

3) AEM $400 (somewhere close there) w/ Big rotor no calipers, Brembo $2395 (Last I check) w/ calipers & rotors, Wilwood $649 (Somewhere there), i post the price at PARTS section, HP Racing but no words on them yet.

Here are a couple pics of my AEM Big Rotor Brake Kit

Hey CivicVTec, I AM LOVING the way those toxxins look with the big brakes. How much'd they set u back?

Thanks for the advice guys!!
I know where to get that spray kit, I just have to borrow a torque wrench so I can get the wheel backl on..This sounds like a nice Saturday afternoon project...
I'm currently spending the remainder of my freed up money on an Ingen CAI but the brakes are next.
My ride is in the shop right now and I'm currently piloting the new SIR...I'm not too fussy about the look but the power (especially the low end torque) is very nice, already raced a VW VR6 and Won he challenged..Loser).
