I painted my calipers.
It seemed like a good way to keep busy, so while I was changing the tires from non-winter to winter I sanded and painted the calipers black. I dunno why this deserves a post, other than I goddamn feel like it 
I started spraying liquid wrench on my exhaust bolts so I can swap it in the next couple days, so I figure a little early lube shouldn't hurt.
Does anybody besides Ron (sorry buddy
) have any summer wheels they're lookin to get rid of? I figure the spring will be a good time to try out something new since I'll have a couple sets of AP1 wheels for winter and track tires, so something else for the street would do nice.

Of course I didn't use good heat paint! That would be the well-planned, most effective approach to it.
I used the Tremclad Rustoleum paint I had sittin on the shelf Looks good though...for now. I used what was left of one can on the rears, and part of a new can on the fronts and apparently something was mislabelled because the rears appear glossy while the fronts are matte. 
At least they match left to right.

please tell me you are joking...I remember a BMW guy who used regular paint to do his calipers. I laighed my butt off when he got black flagged at the track because his calipers were on fire...
