    i dont think i would ever get anything done on my car. i have worked every saturday for about the last 5 or 6 months. i go to the shop for an hour each morning before work. here is the latest that i have done. i finished the brake swap this morning and got my fog lights wired about 3 weeks ago. drove it around the block stops much better. here are a few pictures. cant wait to be able to drive it on the weekends.

    Looks great, the calipers would look nice painted the same color as your car. (y)

    VHT makes brake paint. I haven't tried it but I believe it is good stuff.

    Automotive paint will hold up on calipers also. At my fathers shop he has painted them with the same paint as the car many times, looks great.

    By the way great job, and your car looks awesome.

    I used the Dupli-color caliper paint kit. It turned out looking pretty nice; I was going to use the VHT stuff but nobody in the area had any. I think it's pretty much they same kind of stuff.
