Brake Calipers

Scrubbed off half the rust with brake cleaner and a wire brush (30 min); note rusted caliper on right:


Cleaned off remainder of rust and prepped/taped-off caliper (30 min):


Applied paint (waited 45 minutes "dry time" between 2 coats) and removed tape (1 hour total):


With 20" wheel back on (1 min; wheel mount/contact points do not encroach paint so no waiting to dry):


Job complete (well, one of four calipers anyways):


Full view:


Just kidding (I wish)! Seriously, the full view (sorry it's an old pic):





After lowering .75" in front and .5" in rear (pic above is factory height):


























Can you see the yellow brake calipers now?
