Dont know if thats a good thing or not.

 

You Know it is,, thats y im Practicing on my Calipers to make sure i get it down pat. I Could Polish valve covers & smooth surfaces alot quicker not as much sanding. But you still have to use 240 grit rolls & 340 Grit rolls Before you burn on the finish.

 

really clean, nice work!

 

Nice

 

TY i Did alot of Home work on this & invested 1200 & change on tools to do it.

 

Before



After





Thought i would show them lil more distance.

 

looks good, guess I'll make a trip to Ft. Lauderdale

 

Looks really great. Not many people have the patience for that. Good Work!

 

ok, no need for another thread. merged your new thread w/ the last one.

 

Cool Hope to c-ya

I think im goimg to teach my son how to do this & have him start polishing pieces.

 

Sorry havent learned how to merge yet.

 

i merged your threads together. only mods/admins can do that. what you can do to preven mods/admins from merging threads is just make one thread and update it.

 

Cool TY

 

I was hoping to have you do it.... j/k

 

Ill do it Not a problem. just got to finish my project 1st ,,,,,& we can talk i spent enough money on the stuff.

 

Very nice. Now for some braided stainless brake brake lines.

 

yea thats wat i was thinking. but i need my rotors first.

 

that looks great!

 

It would be great if someone actually made SS brake lines for our cars.....all 6 lines that there are.....Im going to be speaking with our R&D manager at work(SSBC) because we are designing a new bracket for the parking brake cable on our rear kits.....so I might as well have him get lines made too.....

 

I have on word to say........... SWEET!!

later

 

The calipers look awesome, great job. One thing that would worry me about the clear coat is will it adhere to the calipers ( in my opinon, no ), you might want to look into http://www.zoops.com/product-listing.asp?ID=15 first before clear coating your calipers.

 

it will adhere...

try this clear, have used it and it really looks nice!brake clear

 

Will it adhere or just lay on top of the surface of the calipers?

How To:

Clean surface thoroughly. Remove grease, oil, loose paint, rust, scale, etc. using a high grade cleaner such as VHT's Brake Cleaner (Product #SP-11 & #SP-11-1 for use in California) or PJ1's Super Cleaner (Product number #3-20 & 3-21 for use in California). Scuff any rusted or glossy surface with either a wire brush or steel wool. Cleanse again with high grade cleaner and let dry. Mask any surface not to be coated. Apply coating in a 70°F- 95°F environment with minimal humidity. Shake can for one minute after marble is heard. Hold can upright 12-16 inches from surface during application. Apply each coat in a crosshatch pattern. For best results, apply thin, even coats in 20- minute intervals until desired coverage is achieved.

If the surface of the caliper aren't scuffed well enough the clear coat has a good chance of flaking off over time, also, what will the caliper look like once it's scuffed up?

I'd hate to see someone go to all the trouble of making there calipers look great only to have them look like **** later, but then again maybe it will work out fine.

The Finish is burnt on or (ie) polished on with a Sewn Cloth then loose cloth buffing wheel,,, Hinc the shine,, im looking in to all possiblity guys i will let you know wat i find out . This is just the start & i only did 1,,, so we are going to trial & error this. I dont get my rotors till end of next week!!

I started working on the rest of the project, Will be complete in about 10 days because of rotors.

But i can tell you they will dull a lil but they where polish at high speed,, so on their worst day they will always look ten times better than stock!

 

Thanx ,,,,, I am really pleased with the results & the feed bac from Every 1!
