I just bought the caliper kit today at Advanced Autoparts.
I dont like it. I used it on my drums, maybe that was why...but it streaked really bad and the hairs from the brush always got stuck on the drum.. I just resorted to spraying them with 1200 degree engine paint. They look great. I had to redo them because after 2 years they started to fade from the first time I did it. My calipers are still looking good though! And yes...I went with RED!!!!!!!!!! --------------------  |
