Also spent some time cleaning and painting all the calipers to make everything look really nice. I think the effort was worth it. You decide:

Nasty old front brakes... ewwww!

Ditto for the rears... ewwww!

And, after 2 days of work the results! Don't pay any attention to the dirty car attached to the nice clean brakes - I'll fix that as soon as it stops raining here.

ditto for the front

The job went pretty smoothly - I just hope that the paint stands up to the elements better than the original silver cad finish. Only time will tell.

That's a job well done!

clearcoat to preserve that look as long as possible...
Our nemisis, "Rust" just loves newly cleaned up steel.
Just my $0.02 though.

looking good!

Looks Great!..Good Job...Where did you get the kit and how much???

Ming02

Well, I used a high-temp engine paint, and I didn't see a matching high-temp clearcoat.

I think I ended up paying about $500 in total IIRC.

Great Paint Job at that...
It looks like shiny steel

Well anyways, this is what I used for mine to bond my 4-Ring Decals...
Can be had at either PepBoys or AutoZone.

I will do the same job as yours and I want Cadmium Plated (better than Zinc) to avoid rust.

Any comments on the setup, did you use a Bleeder or with pedal pumping ?
