Default Little Reds...

My brake repaint is complete. While not concourse quality, they turned out quite impressive for $76!!

First two pics are before...

Nice job. I did the same last August and they still look great. No chips and the decals are holding up well too.

Looks good. Did you use paint or power-coating? Now the calipers will match your red seat belts.

I used a brush-on epoxy paint kit by a company called G2. One of the 944 guys wrote an impressive review, so I thought I'd try it out!

Looks great. I did the same thing but Little Yellows (on a black car). The paint went on in April and it still looks great.

Nice job.

I did my Little Reds last year and posted a DIY here.

My name is Kevin.
I knew I recognized your car.
You let me sit in it at Tweeks in Effingham, Il
Your Mid-weight flywheel and supercups had a great throttle feel!
Also, we hung out during the filming of that "Movie" at that mansion in Wildwood. That was a weird morning.
Anyway, your car looks great.
Good job on the calipers!

Hey, Kevin, I guess you heard the Tweeks/Funfest got cancelled for this year.
Hope to see you @ the European Show on June 4!!!

Gordo, car is looking very nice. Good job.

Bummer to hear about the Tweaks get together being cancelled. I was looking forward to making it down from Champaign for my first time. What weekend is the European show?
