Finished Painting My Brake Calipers


Bought the do it yourself kit at Autozone for like 16 bucks. Took about 3 Hours total to do it. I don't have much experience though so if you know what you're doing it could probably be done in 1 depending on how many coats of paint you decide to put on.

Had to run to autozone a couple different times to get a breaker bar and some ratchets. Also had to borrow the neighbor's jack. Think it turned out very well.

it was a really simple job once i got the wheels off. putting the wheels back on and getting them aligned with the lug bolts was a bitch cause my wheels/tires weigh 40+ lbs and i havent been to the gym in a while..... :sleep

So what all was in the kit and what did you have to do?? If you don't mind describing the process I'd appreciate it.
