only specialized caliper paint (which isn't a urethane based paint) will hold up against brake cleaner

yeah im using the EXACT paint to the T that u did. Do u think it'll be ok for the UIM as well? Only thing im scared of on the wheels as well, is since im in the midwest, we get snow and slush and salt....hope it holds up

ahh.. i c... it look as though it has a different shade than Zero's color... so maybe its the camera exposure..
neways... I've been meaning to do the mod from like zero's... since i have montego blue like you, im also thinking of going to that route after seeing your pix...
The problem is, i just cant find any duplicolor wheel paint from where i live!!back to the thread... i spray my LIM, UIM, intake elbow, and turbo intake pipes wiv a high temp black paint, just like Zero... it turned out great!! Thanx Zero...

edit: the reason mine and zerobangers wheels look different is b/c my digi cam sucks, i got it for $35 at target.

Rotary Performance is selling a red fd with the uim painted and it is red I will try to find the pic to post it so you can see what it looks like. You could also try to call them or email at rx7.com to see if they would sell it off of the car and put a stock one back on but this probably wont work because the car that they are selling is a ten second monster. But it never hurts to ask thats what I do and they hook me up all the time.
