Painted my calipers today

[Kevin@nextmod]

Well I was bored and took the opportunity to paint my calipers in this nice weather. I only had the front done because my stupid neighbor (this old guy) tells me its not good to paint it and kept BLAH BLAH BLAH about it so i stopped and will finish up next time.

I used the Duplicolor caliper kit which is really easy to use and it cost 20.99 from cdn tire which i had to go to the bayview and hwy7 one to get it because walmart and 2 other cdn tire do\'nt have it.

Tell me what you guys think. I was about to go for silver but i want to keep the black and white theme.

Looks good.

I was planning on going with black calipers as well. Just a matter of when.

You want to paint mine too? :hoho

[Kevin@nextmod]

We can meet up to do it together. I need to do the rear ones. The black looks so sexy. You can use my paint as well. I got lots left.

[SIM SIMMA]

Cool cool.

Dumb nosey neighbours.

Did you sand down the calipers first? use caliper/brake cleaner?

I\'d obviously reimburse you some if I used your paint!

I was planning on dropping by Canadian Tire to pick up a new jack. I think they have some on sale.

[bluntman]

You should have painted them green to match the Tein sticker on your car. ;)

[Kevin@nextmod]

I didn\'t sand down the rust. There was just too much so i just applied 4 coats of paint. If you let me, I can come over to your house and do it. I got this jack from cdn tire and i can bring the stands. I do\'nt mind helping a fellow member that drives a pearl white 3 :D

And bluntman. I\'m taking those stickers out very very soon. Just that i\'m very tired and lazy:p

[LegoMan]

yes i do love the black as well. looks good

[SIM SIMMA]

Hey I might just take you up on the offer!

My new house doesn\'t have a driveway :( But my parents\' house does and they live in Markham :)

looks good man!...that musta been real annoying for your neigbour to be haggling you while you were working on your car...

[Kevin@nextmod]

He was like saying this for the whole 15 mins behind me. Remind you he is an old retarded (i mean retired chinese man)

\"Ohhh Aiya... You shouldn\'t paint your calipers! Its not good for it,\"
then i\'m like \"I dont like the rust so i want to paint it\"
then all him \"Those are Goooo rust, they are service rust. If you paint your calipers then when your calipers are hot they can\'t dissipate the heat.\" x 4 times

Then I said \"Ok I\'ll stop painting it.\" then i just cleaned up and went back inside.

The funny thing is, he came out to mow his lawn and then instead of doing that he comes to me and starts blabbing like my dad. And then after saying its not good to paint it for once, he goes and cuts his lawn for about 3 mins and then turns his mower off and comes back to me and says the same shit over again!. LOL OMFG

Why? I wouldn\'t. I rather like them.

Wanna paint my calipers too?

[Kevin@nextmod]

LOL..Are you lying?

No, I have nothing against the very subtle use of stickers. The green \"T\" is a nice contrast against the white, but the \"TEIN\" blends right into the body colour.

LOL is that why you are so eager to meet with jobes so that you can paint your calipers somewhere else?

[bluntman]

It must be a \"white thing\". ;)

[Kevin@nextmod]

That orange car owners do\'nt understand:p

[bluntman]

Touche!

Are you still willing to paint my calipers?

:D

[Kevin@nextmod]

^^ Sure.... What color? WHITE????

[mEtH]

HAHA that\'s funny for the first time I noticed that it says Tein next to the T. I thought it was just the T the whole time.

[Kevin@nextmod]

Thats good. Thats what i wanted the wholeeeeeeeeee time.

[majic]
