It was a rebuilt unit, $35.99 from Advanced Auto Parts, they did fail on me after 40K. Let see if this new one will fail.

Yes it is high temp paint, I used those engine paint from autozone

Tom, that paint job is worse than the one Kahren did on his FC hood... in the DARK!

bingoboy

im sure you wont be able to tell much when its mounted back in place.

No idea, i am running stock wheels now. You dont see it anyway. Well I am ordering wheels within 2 weeks...

MaxRX7

everybody knows that red calipers give an instant 5 horsepower to the wheels !!

maxim

now is that to each of the four wheels that you add 5hp ?

dvls-7

How much does yellow give......???......

MaxRX7

red = 5HP to each wheel
yellow gives 6HP to each.

Maybe you can paint hte caliper yellow and the MAZDA logo red!!!!
maybe you can get 6 1/4hp at each wheel d00d

uhh no, u get 3.5 hp at the rear wheels if u use the afc and dyno tune it with 13:1 a/f ratio...

scathcart

Yeah, TMAK, it looks like you went a bit heavy on coats, hance the bubbling.
Next time try some light coats of paint every hour for about 6 coats. You should barely be able to see the first coat. It'll look like crap for the first few hours and then look beautiful for the around coat 4.

I wish i had access to a digital camera. I anodized my calipers, they look pimping as hell!

so pretty much you are saying that painting your calipers red is ghetto or ricy, correct? if that is so then porsche's are ghetto because they come stock with painted calipers and thats right they are RED, i think it makes the car look kind of exotic, other colors like yellow, yeah that looks like **** but red looks good.

PraxRX7

Mine will be red too.

scathcart

how long did you leave the caliper in the solution with the electricity?

scathcart

an hour

Red calipers did a LOT for the looks on the bullitt edition mustang.
Definitely not rice.

whered you get the dye also? sorry for asking all these questions

scathcart

Any kind of dye will work, even fabric dye.
I did a search and found a good wrte-up. This is very smiliar to the set up I use, only on a much smaller scale.
