I painted the calipers
So in addition to changing the oil today, I also decided to tackle the calipers. I had the G2 paint system stuff since Christmas '03 and was tired of putting it off til "next weekend".
Here are two pictures taken after using the brake cleaner, but before painting:
I taped some paper up just to help reduce what I may get the paint on. Below are some pictures from after painting.
(not the best picture in the world)
We decided just to let the car sit (sans wheels) overnight. Tomorrow we'll put the wheels back on & I'll post some more pictures.
Thanks to Dave for all the help today! Even though I've been hitting the gym a few times a week, my little chicken arms weren't strong enough to undo any of the lug nuts! One of the downfalls of being so petite, I guess.
