translucent purple calipers HELP
 

Looking to put translucent purple calipers on my white 2011 370Z. This is what I'd like the color to look like but I'm lost on where to begin to achieve this color. I live in Virginia if that helps for anyone that may know of a place in my state otherwise who knows of some DIY paint? Got a friend who will help me once I track down the color.

Thanks!

What rotors are installed bro?

Mike is the man!

I appreciate the kind words, but I'm no longer accepting new customers :(

Since upgrading to captain at my airline, powdercoating vs flying is no longer economically viable. I am keeping the business open for the shops and previous customers that I have done work for so I can continue writing off my Cayenne and racecar, but I'm burned out after 10 years of working 28-31 days per month.

To the OP, I don't think you can acheive that DIY. Either need to go to a body shop or a powdercoater.

I must be a wuss. I work 14 days a month. and I'm burned out. :icon14:

Zbrah they are DBA 2 piece 5000 series rotors. I installed them a few weeks back and love them! They also make a 1 piece if two isn't your thing. Hit up RavSpec if you're interested in a set.

wow, congrats Mike for becoming Captain! :tup:

I'm at around 18 now, but I should be at 14-15. when I was a senior copilot on the 737, it was 10-12 days of flying, so I had lots of time for the other job.

Thanks Kenchan!

It's nice to know some guys (Mike and Rusty) in the business are eating the carrot at the end of the stick. I left Part 121 in 2008 to go corporate, work about 10-15 days (3-4 overnights) a month. My paycheck will never be as big as yours though. Congratulations on the upgrade. It's unfortunate you don't accept new customers as I was hoping to do this someday.

Want to congrats Mike too on the step up. :tup:

My schedule is for 14 days a month, 12 hr days. With overtime. I usually get over 2600 hrs a year. :eek:

Good LAWDY that's some serious seat time! I'm about 350/yr. I'd be burned out too. Is that military?

On a lighter note I will have the pleasure of flying this thing in the fall. Getting my Seaplane Rating then taking clients fishing in this. And you are seeing correctly, that is a PT6 and Radar Pod.

Nice seaplane!

I used to fly this in the Navy:

Now I fly this:

I currently fly about 6-700 block hours a year, but get paid for around 10-1200 with credit.


Sorry to get off topic OP!

NICE. I used to be Crash Crew in the USMC, then went to college. I used to be left seat on an ERJ but now a little ole Pilatus. I'm ok with it though. Quality if life is good and so is job security. Some guys I knew ended up at Delta. I do miss some things but not many. I apologize to OP as well!

You obviously have the hours, Delta is hiring like crazy with lots of upward movement. Regular line right off the bat and starting pay around 75k.

Mike,

Thank you for the heads up on hiring! I left Part 121 because of needing weekends off to see my kids (divorced before kids were in school and they didn't live where I could commute from). Once my oldest started school I couldn't see them on the weekdays which were basically the only time I had off. I also realized that no matter how big my check got or plane I flew I would be living out of the suitcase and hotel room rest of my life. That's why it's nice to hear of guys like you who are actually enjoying the carrot. I feel like I have the best quality of life I can have while flying planes for a living and that is good enough for me. I get treated very well, get plenty of time off especially for seeing the kiddos and am not just a number. I really do feel like I'm living the dream as crazy as that sounds. I hope I can retire with this company. Maybe someday we will get something that goes higher and faster but if not it's ok too. If by chance I ever do need to go job hunting again I'm sure my resume will go to Atlanta. We all know this is very unforgiving job market for us flyboys. On occasion I end up in KPDK at EPPS aviation. I'll hit you up next time it happens. Thanks again for the encouragement and if you ever take on new customers let me know. Sorry for being long winded

Glad to hear it! I had a good 4 year run as a senior first officer on the 737 where I was home every night, but thats rare. It was so good I had to go and upgrade!

Haha I like how this post turned into talk of flying. Avgeek here! Hoping to get my PPL one of these days and actually have worked for 2 airlines.

Thanks for everyone's input. I think precison powder coating in Virginia Beach might be who I go to.
