Default caliper re-coat pics ~
Went with the hi-temp clear coat method on the calipers using clear header paint. Had no luck finding clear caliper paint locally. Used 3600 grit to smooth out some of the edges where it was chipped. It requires a few coats to get just shy of high gloss, more of a satin finish. I'm happy with the results.







Gratuitous artsy photo

Steve, I thought you were going to point out the gap in my bonnet!
