Re: Looking for 1 BAD BIRD Hey dude sorry <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> Well I unbolted the calipers but left the hydraulic lines hooked up. Then I took a BIG 39 gallon garbage can liner and split it down the center and masked the whole wheel well off. Then I just sanded the calipers down to get rid of the dirt and grease. Then I used Duplicolor high temp primer ....sprayed on three even coats. Make sure to let the coats drie. OH I jus sat the calipers on the spindles and painted around them. Then I applied 4 coats of high temp Daytona yellow from Duplicolor. Let them dry and bolt em back up <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> It is simple. Just time consuming to do it perfect. Let me know if you have any other questions. Again sorry for the wait been crazy at work <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
