Im thinking of buying a duplicolor caliper black paint kit to paint my 01 EX sedan calipers (its a champagne color sedan with factory 15' steel rims) what do you guys know about this brand and product??

I used it and was very satisfied with the results. Easy to apply and durable, too. The paint lasted the entire summer. But if you have the stock steel wheels, what's the point of painting your calipers? Nobody will even see them.

i don't know what all that kit comes with but you might wanna spray your calipers down with a degreaser and get them as clean as you can before you paint them also

hey fiend, do you recommend Tokico Blue shocks for my 01 Sedan?? I don't want to lower the car that much, maybe 1 inch is enough but I dont know if Tokico sells shocks to lower the car less than 1.2 inches... Im starting to hate the giant space between the car and the body but I don't want to compromise comfort and here in Panama streets kinda suck in some places. How much did you lower yours?

the drop on my car right now is H&R springs with stock struts, it dropped about an inch. now that i have smaller rims and i wanted more of a drop, i haven't put my new springs on, still waiting for my shocks to come in, when i do put them on it'll give it aproximately 1.5in drop all around. if your streets are really bad like you say, i'd recommend getting adjustable coilovers, ebay has some ground control coilover that'll give a 0-2.5in drop, there about $340, then get some tokico blues, or just check around in the suspension forum and read about what other people are using and if they like it or not, that's what i did and decided to go with tokico blues and tein s-tech's

the paint kit is okay, doesnt last more than a year tho. the spray can stuff is the same. mine is already starting to rust and i just did it 6 months ago.

hey gearbox, with the work thats involved, are you gonna keep redoing it or just strip the paint off?

i guess its not that much work, ill prolly just sand the rusty spots and rebrush it. gotta take the wheel off thats the hard part. i brushed the front rotor lips and sprayed the rear drums.
