97loudcut Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 It was nice out today. I was driving everywhere and I figured I should stop in Autistic Zone for some much needed products. From left to right *19MM deep socket for my lug nuts, seeing as I lost the old one! *3pc. wire brush set, for those dirty calipers before I paint them *Red caliper paint kit (FTW) *Set of locking lug nuts so I can throw my D's on Yay $55 later.. Also picked up a can of this stuff. Black Magic Express Wax. Saw a guy using it at the car wash the other day. He said it just hit shelves, and he loves it. He was detailing his new GTO. I am going to give it a try, but from what I saw, it is amazing stuff. P.S. My ferrets say "hi" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19Cutlass94 Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 i'm going to do mine on the cutty the same color as the car, just for shit and giggles Thats what Im going to be doing. I just wanna get everything done before I go into that. FYI: my uncle used that same kit, and he had a horrible time with that.

I literally just gob the paint on. I've done if for the past 2 years and it turns out pretty nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 i think i'm going to paint mine black tomorrow, just cuz i can't find the red and they don't make hi temp in the maroon color, and the black is on the shelf in my garage. WOW run-on sentence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
97loudcut Posted March 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 You don't need the hi-temp paint. Do what Terry did, and he painted his maroon. I think you can paint them with the maroon colored spray paint (at AutoZone or w/e) and then just put the hi-temp clear coat over them. Besides, the calipers don't get hot anyways.
