Looks pretty good if I do say so myself. I'll upload some of our in progress mug shots later tomorrow. Gotta say, I had my doubts but its not bad.
And to all of you wondering, yes, we're a pair of hacks. We have no idea what we're doing most of the time :P Thats why my Bullitt is staying stock![Icon Mrgreen](https://themustangsource.com/forums/images/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif)
Maybe next time we can fix the broken parts lol
PS: way to jack my title

I still can't believe I lost that fender... wtf? Maybe it got stolen or something... I dunno. I'll have to look for it again sometime.
Thanks for coming down to help, I appreciate it.

here we go...
Step one: Jack up car and remove wheels

![](http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u34/future9er23/70179644.jpg)
Step 2, remove caliper and rotor. you dont really need to remove the rotor, but it was convenient for us to do so
![](http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u34/future9er23/c8a698e7.jpg)
![](http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u34/future9er23/4c98c197.jpg)
step 3, scuff up the existing paint (if any) to have a rough surface for the primer to stick to
![](http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u34/future9er23/1ac92662.jpg)
step 4, wash off any dust or particles that would get in the way of a good coat of paint

![](http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u34/future9er23/35322b6e.jpg)
![](http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u34/future9er23/54cc96fb.jpg)
step 5, mask off all the thingies you dont want to match your calipers![Stick Out Tongue](https://themustangsource.com/forums/images/smilies/tongue.gif)

![](http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u34/future9er23/b7593dc7.jpg)
step 6, apply a coat of primer

![](http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u34/future9er23/97c8b86b.jpg)
step 7, snack
![](http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u34/future9er23/1f5f88e1.jpg)
step 8, apply coat of blue. repeat as often as the can says to until you're happy. i only saw this one coat of this one caliper before i had to leave, so after this, ask peter
![](http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u34/future9er23/d5e66b0c.jpg)
step 9, leave peter's house in your own, prettier, mustang, whose calipers were already painted![Icon Mrgreen](https://themustangsource.com/forums/images/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif)

I think they turned out pretty good! I like the picture of you guys at the restaurant, even if you had never seen a picture of Arin before you would know that it was him taking the picture because he has to have the seat that looks directly out the window to his bullit! I do the same thing

She's on the street right now! :-p As soon as the owner sends me the registration/pink slip then I can get it smogged, and then it'll be all downhill from there. I think I'm leaking tranny fluid while I'm driving that starts burning when it gets hot... But that shouldn't affect a smog test, since I'll drop it off cold, and I would assume they don't run it hard enough during the test to get the tranny smoking.
