I'd like to have my calipers painted sazuka blue like my car. What kind of time/work is that going to take?

You will need to bring the following:

Caliper paint
Brake cleaner
Paint brushes
Bucket (used to catch the brake cleaner. It will be destroyed so bring an old one)
nylon brush (to clean calipers)
grinder (if youu want to smooth out the caliper)

It should only take a couple of hours and that is mostly drying time. We will jack up your car and take off all four whells. We will get four people, one for each caliper. While each caot is drying, it tool 3 coats for mine, we can work on the other cars. It looks like a pretty small group right now, so this should not be a problem. Just remember to buy caliper paint and not just the normal stuff.

When we are done, it will look sweet

I hope to be there - the car needs a quick wash (if we're doing that) & I should detail the interior... Also, it'd be a good chance for me to handover the spons I owe you JimmiJ, & to fit the K&N

Where should I look for the paint, Autozone? If you don't know exactly where I should look then what should the "specs" of the paint be heat/durability wise, so I can start searching the internet.

The list is starting to compile, but we can handle more. Let me start to summarize what I think we are doing. If I missed something, post up.

8Ball - Oil/Filter; Tranny FLuid; wash; FMJ (with steriods)
Deepblue - wash?Helping hand
xtremesq - wash? Helping hand
FireF4ly - Calipers
Su2uKa - wash
dnelson1627 - Oil/Filter; Diff-Tranny fluids; Tint rear window (which will also require a polish before hand)

Remember to have your fluids and parts on order by now. Also remember sponsorship discounts are available to Gateway members.
