Painting underneath and calipers. I've got stock rear calipers on the front and Baer's on the front. I bought a red caliper kit awhile back and I can't remember where I got it. Does anyone know where to get it? It came with two cans of paint, rust remover, brake cleaner, and some brushes.
Next question, I have nothing but BMR products under my car and I am about ready to order a driveshaft safety loop and Subframes (gonna replace my slp ones) so all my suspension parts are all Red. I would like to paint or undercoat the underneath of the car. I have about 3 cans of 3M undercoating spray, but I don't know if I should use that or just a satin black paint.
Who here has painted the underneath of the car and what did you use?

Hey I needed the extra stopping power and fabbed up some rear calipers on my front rotors I'm a retard haha
Did the essential areas under my car last winter with some rust proof enamel stuff i got from Autozone. I got a sanding wheel and buzzed off anything major, which was only a spot right behind the front air dam, and where the crossmember had scraped. Held up good so far! Undercoating doesn't seem to last as long, but many people do it with good results.

Cool man, I just kinda figured it would be something to work on while the car is down for awhile.
Gordo, are you still in manhattan? I don't think I've seen your car around.
