Re: Finished Another DIY ! (PIX)

thanx guys, for the black i used black high gloss caliper paint ($7) For the Red i used some high temp eninge paint, only cuz i already at it laying around ($5) and i also had some brake cleaner layin around. but you could also use any auto cleaner like carb cleaner... engine degreaser... i also used a wire brush to scrub them up and clean them.

but if you arnt going to use caliper paint get some high temp paint. those calipers get hot from all the friction. if you do your.. post pix as well !
