Re: painting calipers (03frostygt)

Yep, a couple weekends ago I picked up the Duplicolor Brake Caliper Paint kit. It has the cleaner, paint, brush, and stir stick. Worked nicely, but I also applied about 3 coats of paint to them. I also painted the drums on the back, everything red with the paint provided in the kit. Attached files

The one I purchased had just over 70,000 mi on it when I had those replaced; and I'm still running on the OEM battery. The only downside abou...

I've ran Mobil 1 synthetic oil in all of my vehicles ever since I tore into two engines that had Mobil 1 synthetic oil in them.
