Tuesday I'm going on Vacation for a week so It will give the paint plenty of time to cure. Running out to walmart to grab some caliper cleaner and high temp ceramic black paint (I already have a can of red from my last kit) going to stencil Mustang onto them. :-) Ill post pics as I do it and maybe even make a Picture howto (because painting calipers is hard) __________________ WTS Stock rear performance speakers. 6"x8", works fine.

The how to part was a joke, my calipers are already painted red, but winter salt likes to take off the paint, so im going to sand blast them and repaint them.
