looks good now paint your front calipers red though.

 

workin on it... the paint takes 18-24 hours to dry supposedly (according to box) so im plannin on doin it on saturday mornin'. yay jackstands!

 

would love to go but me and the mrs will be going out of town to visit her parents in AK. i have sun off since best buy will be closed that day.

in case no one noticed, that is Easter weekend.

 

yup just follow the directions and take your time. Once its done you will be bling bling for sure.

well when your single, family all lives in a different state, easter just comes as another day for me.

 

Hi guys, know it's been a while since I've been around. But I won't be making this meet... just had a head-on collision this morning so my car will be out of commission for at least a few weeks.

 

that sux, hope you didn't get hurt. i'm not gonna be able to make it either i just had my work hours change to seven days a week on second shift so i need to be taken off the list. on the bright side with the extra cash flow a new ride is soon to come.

 

wrx with bigger turbo right, LOL.

 

really undecided right now, solstice gxp, the new ss/tc, or a 2002-2004 c5 vette is the short list

 

thats cool man. A vette would be dope and a good way to pick up some chicks. lol Get a vette and put nitrous in it and it would scream.

 

No one got hurt, we were both going too slow to even set off the airbags. Is the work schedule change permanent?

 

i got all four calipers painted red today... probably have some pics up tomorrow. that duplicolor stuff works dang good! cant wait till the meet on saturday, looks like the weather is supposed to be nice.

 

Where'd you get the Duplicolor? I want some for my drums.

 

got it at Vato-Zone (j/k Auto-zone) for less than $20 for the kit... they have a few different colors, red, yellow, black, silver and blue. everything worked real well but the brush they give you is garbage so i would recommend going by an arts and crafts store and picking up a random same size brush. and the more you sand the calipers the better it looks, we started off with 220 grit and finished with 440 grit... nice and smoothe!

 

good to hear noone was hurt, and the hours should last for the next two months so it's not that bad. i've already missed the first two autox's though.

 

It came with both grit sandpaper? Was there enough paint to cover all 4? I was thinking of only doing my rear drums, but if there's enough I may do the front calipers too.

 

there is definately enough paint to do front calipers and rear drums, i did 3 healthy coats on all four calipers and still have around 1/2 of the paint left!!! they give you more than enough to do the job. as for the sandpaper, i picked it up at autozone aswell, just random assorted pack about notebook paper size. the whole preping and painting took around three hours max. the looks are definately worth the time. im postin up a how-to tomorrow with a crap ton of pics.

 

Thanks man. Also, how are the burns healing up? Everything back to normal?

 

Go ahead and put me as tentative on the list Matt. I probably wont be able to stay to long though... but I do want to go, I hate being out of the loop.

 

Cool man, I hope you show up. It's been awhile.

 

Damn, would love to go to this, why does it have to be on the other side of Dallas??

Devin

 

because that is where a lot of people live.

 

hmmm...im thinking about going....i might make it out there (not that anyone knows me, or cares...lol)

 

Oh no! That sucks, at least it is only for a short time tho.

Yeah, so the accident = $3400 in damage to my car.. Ikes!

 

OUCH. and congrats on the wedding to you guys. maybe we'll see ya at one of the meets later in the year.

 

Nah man, you should make it out. We always like having as many people come out as possible. Alot of my friends I've met through meets. You have something better to do than meet new friends that share the same interest?
