Cleaning and Detailing.

WOW! so thats what a 'new' car looks like!!
HaHa Its been a LONG time, like 15 years, since my 95 looked like that!

I am put a bigger picture up. Hope you all like them and tell me what you think.

Looks Killer!! Did you end up painting them all or did you powdercoat the parts? The calipers, bracket and rotors that is? I've had better luck p/c-ing my past parts but if thats all done by paint then I may go that route instead. Now tint those windows!

Oh how shiny. Of course, it's a lot easier for a 2010 to be shiny than a 92. Sigh- still looks nice.

I painted all the parts. If they do not come out with a bigger brake kit I well p/c them.

I used that thick caliper expoy paint stuff from Germany (F something, I forget its name) a few years ago on my lightning and it still looks the same the day I painted it, not sure you need to pc anything there unless you are talking about the rotor caps or something.

Red does look great with Silver!
I hope to powdercoat my wheels a gunmetal high or flat gloss. I might as well get the calipers done as well.

SHoBOB have you got your exhaust work done yet?

 

[shobob]

No not yet. I hope this week.

what did you use to paint the calipers? VHT?

I did the calipers on my malibu in red with VHT. I have to reapply it in the spring as the winter takes a toll on the paint and makes it look kinda gross. When i swap my steel rims to my summer set, i repaint the calipers/drums to get that nice look for the summer.

I would like to paint the calipers on my 95 but those things are pretty rusty. I wouldnt be able to paint them on my own. Would probably have to get some shop to clean them up really well and then paint or p/c them.

I bought a 100 pound bag of fine sand from a local place that sells mulch, stone, dirt and stuff. bought the sand blasting gun from sears (NO BUCKET) make my own bucket (drilled hole in 5 gallon and put fitting) and I can sand blast anything pretty much. It works very well and only cost like 30 I forget maybe even cheaper. Will turn annny rusty nasty part like new just needs a scuff after u blast it and a few light coats of paint!
