Calipers are mounted!! also picked up some pregens that should be on the car soon as well.
UPDATE!
Just picked up some GXP rear brakes, stay tune for updates, gonna get the power coat taking off then off to polishing!
as they sit now
test area (320 sand paper)
Just got them back from the Max Blaster!! There is another small test area, need to go pick up more sand paper, then the polishing will begin
320 Grit
i dont have any 600 pics, so 1000 wet sand
and clear coated with brackets.
Should be on for Easter if not for sure in the summer
They are finally on!
I bought Fbody brakes before winter hit, and between doing homework at college i decided to polish them, I figured it would be cooler than just painting them black or silver
. I started by just cleaning them with a steel brush, then hit them with sand paper, 320 grit, 600 grit, then 1000 grit, and lots of mothers aluminum polish. I only polished what would be most visible. So below are some pictures.
This is them cleaned with the steel brush
The pair
The front
Mounted on the car, the clear coat took away a little of the reflectiveness but they still look good!
