Sure, but every drive allows one to forget the downtime.

Those pictures are as high quality as the refinish, which is perfect.

Thanks for posting and sharing the steps

No regrets on the color. That said, I have no desire to do this again any time soon.

And that's the subject of another thread.

Love to see a project so well done, they look terrific. I was thinking about my calipers the other day and wondering about doing them red but for now they'll stay black since I've got enough eye candy so to speak already. Silver car with the red calipers are great colors together.

I must do this. My Big Reds are so beat up, I can't stand it. But I don't know where to start. I need to find a local powder coater who can do all the prep work too. My brakes are not new, but I don't know that they need rebuilding yet and I'd be torn about spending money on that while I'm in there, but it's probably not necessary.
