Well it's that time of year, I'm sure everyone has a nice "rust" colour forming on their calipers and drums. We should set a day in the near future, and sand/paint those ****'s This could take some time. I don't know if I'll actually spend alot of time sanding, but the painting will take a few coats, and you need to wait for them to dry.

Lets set something up!

I might hit up the caliper painting on my bike. A nice gold colour would be pimp.

Take some time I think it took me 10 min on Sunday to do the drums in the rear

Just remember you can take the drums off. Pretty easy...they should just slip off. might need a little force but nothing much since there is nothing really holding them on. Thought I would mention since I saw that you guys paint them while they are still on the car. This way you dont have to worry about getting paint any where but the drums

i painted mine last summer, and they still lookin as good as ever. i must have used good paint or somethin

if you clean them up well.. they should last you a few years.. atleast mine did.. i spent atleast a couple of hours cleaning..

and yes drinking and driving is bad... but i'd assume you will hang out for a bit ... let things dry up.. and all that good stuff...

besides.. i would want to touch the brakes right after you have driven it! ehhee

Rep Power: 316

Well it can't be our place, we don't have a hose.... Apartment living sucks man.

We could use a preassure washer for the engine bays though.

I have a hose and pressuer washer but man I dont have the space

 
Rep Power: 316

Can't someone host this thing??? PLEASE

 
Rep Power: 316

OK well I suppose that no one can host the engine bay cleaning event. I have a question. I want to paint my breaks tomorrow. I was looking at paint at CT the VHT in particular, it's 12.99 a can, but they only have gloss black. And I didn't know what kind of primer I should get. I was wondering if I could use plain tremclad? I would like flat black instead of gloss. Opinions/comments.

 
Rep Power: 278

Bump, Im waiting to find out as well, and does the primer need to be high temperature?

 
Rep Power: 316

Ok well I made an executive decision. I am buying a can of flat black tremclad high temperature paint. No primer, seeing as how I will be doing this every spring, I'm not going to spend the 2 hours sanding and such. 1 can is under $10

 
Rep Power: 278

LoL, I also made an executive decision today, got some high temp bbq paint at Rona for $6, lol.

haha ayou guys can come here if you want I have a liil space but i am not responsible

 
Rep Power: 316

Already done. You guys can see the finished product this Friday. I did it all in the parking garage.

 
Rep Power: 278

I think Im gonna have to come out and take a look.

 
Rep Power: 316

it's easy. It only took me 3 hours, but thats with the ghey jack that the car comes with. If you can get both tires off on the front or back at one time, your laughing. All you need is some sanding paper, and some old plastic shopping bags to cover up your disks.

You know you can take your drums off to paint. Nothing really holding them on. Will save the stress so you dont have to worry about paint everywhere

 
Rep Power: 316

seriously though. Paint won't go everywhere if you do it in a garage. it's probably more of a hassel to take them damn things, off. Chances are they would be seazed on there good. I know that all you need to do is pop the drums off with a phillips, but you'd still need to take the wheel off, and do all the prep work. yeh yeh

 
Rep Power: 292

A tap with a hammer and they should come right off. Hopefully they are not seized since the car is still pretty new. Just saves the hassel with paint going everywhere.
