Have you tried masking stuff? How hard is that? I always thought it would be a pain in the ass and your coating would peel off with the tape.

I've tried the masking trick and I've also tried the grease trick and the grease was a lot easier to do lol and the powder doesn't really adhere to the tape and as long as your careful I've also masked some things off and baked it for maybe 5 min pulled it out and peeled it and then let it finish baking

The calipers you can actually do on the car lol. I left mine in and took one of those foam brushes for painting and dabbed the paint on. I used the dupli color brake caliper kit on mine and it comes with a small can of paint. The key to it was not to brush it on but dab the paint

Thanks man! I didn't know you went on a garage club cruise he didn't tell me about anything lol! I did hear about that guy but never looked into it? There's a lot of silver sparkle and silver metallic powders out there. A buddy of mine actually found a spray paint that's identical to oem lol



Thanks bro!!!

Lol yeah it's been good for the past days here but I'm working 36 hrs in 3 days so 12 hour shifts to avoid overtime before I take my vacations lol so I haven't had time to do crap but I'm done today then I'm off. Might have to take my next vacations soon since I was just told the new company taking over isn't paying for vacations they just give a bonus at the anniversary date but doesn't even equal 4 hrs so I might take advantage and get the vacation while I'm still with my old company gotta hate buy outs
