Reguarding the paint; DupliColor just released a series of spray cans that are supposed to be factory-spec paints and codes. On my old 97 Z28 I used caliper paint and it sucked. It looked dull (red) and stayed dirty. Last time I painted these I used High-temp engine paint (red) and the same brand clear coat. Almost the same results as the caliper paint. This time I used the Duplicolor Paint match cans and they turned out GREAT. You can get the paint at Advance Auto.

lol The same as the paint; DupliColor Perfect Match. It lays on thick and spreads perfectly. I can't praise it enough for ease of use and outcome. Good luck Jesse.

very good sir thank you.. I'm getting sick and tired of these shitty spray cans that come out all orange-peeled.. hopefully the Duplicolor Perfect Match comes out nice.. I have seen them plenty of times lately but haven't thought much of it

I tried using this stuff on my rev extreme catch can.. I used Duplicolor filler primer then sanded down smooth and used 3-4 coats of the black Perfect Match BUN0100 paint and it went on decent. Then I used the Perfect Match clear and followed the directions and it started wrinkling like a mother ******. I don't know how you sprayed heavy coat after coat and I couldn't even lay down a nice base coat of the **** ?? I can't suck that bad at spray painting lol

Damn Jesse, sorry to hear about that lol. I layed down THICK coats about 3 mins. apart and it has no more orange peel than should be expected from a non-smoothed caliper. Mine sprayed perfectly, but it's just like Blingmaster; some say it's better than sex but it sucked dick at ******* ***** on my junk.
