Re: Painting Calipers, new brakes

yeah, i know, i had just emailed him today and i was about to post that when i see you beat me, but i bet those pads are fine, it is still a killer deal for the rotors, idc, i'll still do it. i just dont understand why they have hawk pads in all their pics???

Re: Painting Calipers, new brakes

started cleaning the calipers today...

damn these things suck...

ive gone through 2 cans of brake cleaner on 1 caliper, and it still aint all the way clean... (im using crc brake cleaner in a red can)

i am using a wire wheel on a drill as well, its startin to come clean, but it looks like im gonna have to use a dremel on some spots the drill cant get to...

and now my wheel is worn all the way down, and no stores are open... so im out of luck until tomorrow

any advice on cleaning these things?

Re: Painting Calipers, new brakes

i've done 1 so far, i only used like 1/2 can of brake cleaner and it really didnt take that long, just use a lot of coats of paint, and make sure you tighten the ****er up or it will fall off :( learned that the hard way

[dorkins]

Re: Painting Calipers, new brakes

i plan on using maybe 2 coats of black paint, and about 4 coats of high temp clear (after i put the letters on)

[dorkins]

Re: Painting Calipers, new brakes



i definately needed new rotors!

[bah]

Re: Painting Calipers, new brakes

you havent driven forever have you, lots of rust, i think i am going to get the rotors too, idk if i want to go ahead and get their pads, or if i want to just get the rotors and buy the hawk pads elsewhere, i dont go that fast, so theirs ought to be fine i suppose

there has been a club on my car for a month (sherrifs) and my liscence is suspended

Re: Painting Calipers, new brakes

hawk pads are worth it. buy their rotors and then get hawk pads from tirerack.com and you'll be very happy with the set-up

[dorkins]

Re: Painting Calipers, new brakes

apparently i am just getting semi metalic pads... misleading SOB's
already paid for :(

[99camaro-3.8]

Re: Painting Calipers, new brakes

you can do one of two things.

1: email them and see if you can return them since they mislead you into thinking you were getting hawks pads and that you now just want the rotors

2: put the ones you have on and when they wear out then get hawk pads. you wont need rotors so you'll be doing what you want to now, just in a year or two

i would try emailing them first. any reputable company will try and work with you on this. good luck

Re: Painting Calipers, new brakes

i will just keep the pads... and get hps pads in a year maybe...

the front calipers have 2 coats of black on em, im gonna go for 1 more coat and then start on the rear... i will clear them tomorrow

Re: Painting Calipers, new brakes

i just ordered mine today, i'm just going to use their pads and when they wear out i'll get the hawk pads, i dont have a huge need for massive stopping power so they will be good enough for now
