That looks awesome Mark
I knew you wouldn't be one to skimp on this type of project .......like I did
You are leaving the S2000 stickers off the rear calipers right? I never liked the way it looked on the rears because of the divet in the middle of the rear. I will say that Steve's look really cool now because he had the stickers on and just covered them up when he repainted his. When you look closely at his calipers you can see the S2000 as kind of a raised engraving under the paint - it looks like it was engraved like that from the factory

Can you get clear caliper paint? Like maybe a satin clear finish? I like the stock color of the calipers but I'd like to have a little protection and avoid the corroded look that shows up from time to time...

Thanks again for the compliments, I am picky, and way to critical of my work. But I will admit that they look pretty ing good in person too..
The prep work does make a difference, and I could have done much better, but time and this cool weather has me going to fast.
Dave: I clear coated them with high temp clear. I put three coats on after the color and primer. All three high temp 900 degree stuff.
Funny thing is the first two don't look half as good as the last two. EXPERIENCE pays off.

Leave Meatball out front
Totally ran late and not anything outside except hose.......if you were going to stop by, sorry. Not use to working at 3pm and had my alarm set at 5pm still, so I flew out just barely dressed.
