painted calipers

on tuesday i was able to do the final prep work for the calipers.... i degreased the calipers, soaped , and dried up the calipers one last time before painting. on wednesday i stopped by rev'd up kustomz and had keith start the paint work. i didnt get a chance to paint them myself since i had work and all. he started with a thick coat of primer and moved onto the paint. for some reason the caliper paint spay head wouldn't spray. after switching heads of another spray can it worked. i wasn't able to go back to the shop to check on it but keith told me that it looks very shiny and clean. i can't wait to see them.

another note. i received 5 of 6 bottles of Motul 5.1 brake fluid. pretty much everything is all accounted for... Brakes, calipers, pads, stainless steel brake lines, and brake fluid. hopefully we'll have everything installed and ready to go on friday.
