Looking good man

 

i really cant believe you used those jacks...... highly un-safe....... but anyway, they look good, good write up....

 

I want to paint mine tomorrow, but I'm in upstate NY, supposed to be like 55 out... Think that'll be warm enough for it to setup and dry properly?

 

i think so.

 

Please don't be dumb and rush it or paint only some of it like the originator of the post.

If it's not "Nice" outside, get a hair dryer or simply wait.

The hair dryer will dry the paint, but it will also put all kinds of crap on it when its drying.

 

Brian, what do you think about using a spray paint application instead of brush on? I've had good results in the past using this method. Mind you, it only lasts about 2 seasons before they have to get redone. Keep up the good posts my fellow Canuck!!

 

I'm definitely not going to have a$$ it, if I do it (which i'm going to) I'll take as long as it take to make it paerfect. Just was looking for input on whether or not 50-55 degrees out would cause me any problems.

 

i did mine when it was about 55 degrees and had absolutely no problems

 

Spray Peels off much faster.

IMO.. If you jack the car up on 4 stands with all the tires off in a comfortable well lit area like a warm garage, you will be able to prepare the surface very well and take your time.

Do one corner at a time and take a break. Rushing a job like this will waste your efforts as it will look like crap and you won't be happy with it..

 

The calipers look pretty good but I noticed that there is now paint in spots on the brackets which in my opinion is not that great looking.

I will probably just polish my calipers like I did on my Trans Am (that is if they are aluminum)

 

looks good but too baby blue for me. I want mine to be darker, but good job!

 

I think you will find that they are not..

 

I havent paid much attention to them or much on the car for that matter as of yet.

 

I dont know i saw a post on here with someone that did polished calipers do a search im sure youll find it, looks sweet to

 

Looks good man. I just want to know how Cobalt443 did the Chevy symbol. I would like to do that on mine. I have a black cobalt and am having a hard time deciding what color I should go with????

 

you are able to polish the stock ones what do you mean?

 

I went to my local vinyl shop and had them cut out to the size I wanted. I painted them with two coats of duplicolor red and then applied the vinyl and then one coat of duplicolor high temp clear coat

 

I also have a black cobalt and I decided to paint mine red. I am planning on doing it this weekend as well as repainting my bowties red. Im kinda goin with a black/red styling with the car, ill take pics when I do it this weekend and ill post them here so you know what it looks like with the red
