  • 2 new pics of my polished caliper

    I now have both of the back calipers polished, now I just need to find time to start on the front ones.

              Beautiful job Gerry!
              I really want to polish my calipers. How'd you do it? How long did it take?

                  I wish but with my car being black I would never win anything, shows way too many scraches.

                  silvachris1- I will email you them or probably just post them here later whenever I get the time to type it all up.

                  wickedfirebird- Thanks for the compliments, I will just wash them and periodically repolish them. My friend has had his polished for awhile now and his stay looking good with just washing them.

                  dmiller_2005 & hockeyman- Thanks

                  SilverTAWS6- It took forever but thats because I had them painted before so I had to get all the paint off first and on the backs ones (thats all I have done right now) I did most of the sanding on them by hand. I cant really tell you how long the back ones took since I worked on them a few hours at a time whenever I had free time. I will post directions later when I get the time.

                  CamAroFaNaTic- Thanks, like I told the others I will post directions later.

                  Gerry

                      I left the brake lines attached but took them off of the bracket.
