How long did it take you? (did you do 2 or 4 calipers?) I want to do mine, but I can't think of a day where I'll have all day to just paint the calipers.

mine took awhile. i took a dremel and sanded down and grinded off all the nasty grime that was on there. thats what took the most amoung of time. after that i put on 2 coats of primer, 3 coats of paint, put on the decals, and then put on 3 coats of clear on top of that. i let them sit for around 20-30 minutes in between each coat and once i was completely done i let it sit overnight just to make sure everything set up good. it took a long while but it was well worth it. i did it right the first time adn they came out looking really good.

Hell all i did was used a lot of brake cleaner and scrubbed the **** out of them, then straight to the first coat of high-temp red. No primer or sanding, i just did about 4 coats of paint and then 3 coats of clear and they still look good.

im gonna do mine soon too, sence i have all the time in the world now being summer and all. your's look good, theres not many colors that would go with teal good. silver looks great.
EDIT: maybe i'll do mine in the next couple days, how many cans did you use? im assuming you did all 4 because 98's had 4 wheel disk's.

I used duplicolor caliper paint kit. It has everytihng you need it took me probably 4 hours and i left the wheels off overnight and let it set i might do the decals later because i got a lot of the paint left and i am planing on doin the rotors to putting the clear on. The kit i had was only paint.

Get the decals...it's only a few bucks and it makes your car look really custom.
I am happy to announce that I have sold the site to Robert (FirebirdGT). Years ago this site went down when TealV6 had it, I bought it, refreshed it,...
