Default Grinding and painting my calipers
Last weekend I had the urge to do something to the S. I decided to paint my calipers. So I fully removed and disassembled all 4 calipers. Then I ground away all the casting lines and pits. WOW that was a lot more work than I was thinking it was going to be I ended up spending 2-1/2 hours of grinding per caliper. So 4 days later after 10 hours of griding my calipers I can them looking to my satisfaction. Next I applied the G-2 Black caliper paint. I applied 3 coats to each caliper and the total painting time took around 2-1/2 hours total. I also ordered the white "S2000" logo caliper stickers. Well now for the pictures......

looks like the hard work paid off. you'll be glad you did the job right everytime you look your calipers and it brings a smile to your face.
