i want to do it. i had the kit in my hand but i am totally mechanically/ everything retarded. even though it doesnt really require mechanical ability. i would probably screw it up. lol.

Nope...you're not the only one!

Not sure about yours, but as mine dried, they became darker, and now they are a respectable true blue...not the baby blue on the package pic.

I did the blue calipers. and i can confirm without a doubt that the indicator on the box and on the tin are very baby blue

but the paint is NOT


it is a nice solid blue exactly like the blue cobalt in the top right corner of the site.
