Brembbos soon!

Got 'em painted and decal'd. As soon as I get over this cold, I'll put 'em on the car.

Looks good. Did you spray, powdercoat or use the G2 caliper paint?

I airbrushed the G2 paint on the calipers, and used VHT rattle-can satin black caliper paint on the rotors (front/back of the hat, and the cooling fins).

I asked about powdercoating, and a racer friend of mine told me that paint is better than power coat for calipers because powercoating is too effective of a heat barrier.

They look good and I've applied G2 to every car I've owned, but Ive never thought about using my airbrush. I might have to try that next time.

EBay - I think they're made in china or something. A set of 8 cost $9. You can order any combination of color/size to make up your eight sets. Here's a link:

I bought a cheap throw-away airbrush from harbor freight for $10. Don't ruin a more expensive brush on a one-time application.
