Thanks car has 26k miles the previous owner barely ever drove it in the rain and I never do. The only thing that looked like crap was the stock exhaust and the 10bolt.

Some more pics from today. That por15 is tough **** I forgot to wear gloves and got it on my hands and lacquer thinner would barely take it off. I got the ears cut off the spindles also for the C5 kit now I need to por 15 those. I still need to paint the rear calipers also im going to try and finish that tonight.

Got all the brake parts painted today and went over the heat shields in the back with some mothers polish really quick. I also took the front springs and shocks apart but will wait till tomorrow to put the new ones in and get a better spring compressor I about killed myself with my crappy one.

I'm about to get some POR15 for my rollbar... How hard is it to use? Does it dry smooth? Any tips ? Thanks!

Por15 its only like my favorite paint ever it tough as hell and it shines. If I was to do a roll bar I think I would spray it on though the brushing works well for chassis parts. I mean it looks good with no brush streaks but if you want it really smooth like you would on a roll bar ide spray it.
