Got a busy modding weekend ahead of me. This Saturday Rob is going to help me install some Carbotech XP8 brake pads, Motul RBF600 brake fluid, paint my brake calipers red, and change my oil.
For painting the brakes I'm using VHT caliper paint which should stand up to temps of 900 degrees. Need to clean the calipers diet with the caliper cleaner, then sand them down, clean them again with mineral spirits, and then finally paint. Also bought some painter's tape and a plastic drop cloth to help mask off the car. The total cost for this mod including the prep supplies is $35. Very cost effective and hopefully it turns out good. Here's a pic of everything needed to paint the calipers
And here's everything ready for this Saturday. I thought i should change the oil while the calipers are drying to save some time.
