Caliper, Hub Painting & Cleaning Pics
Decided to paint my calipers and clean some of the suspension components ready for the show season. I have finished the drivers side just the other side to do.

Rear
The whole job takes a while to complete but mean as i have two weeks off work why not.

Not sure, it says on the can that it's rated to 500 degrees (intermittant). There was also some high temp blue engine paint at Autozone, not sure what the temp rating on that was. I'm not sure how hot you need, depends on what you're painting I guess.

I'm also wondering, how long did the caliper paint take to dry enough to put everything back together? Just trying to figure out how much time I'll need to do it right. I'm putting new pads, rotors and brake lines on too.
