    Oven cleaner won't take the paint off the car? I'm all for easy removal of the pinstripe, I just don't wanna damage the paint. I may be waxing the car tomorrow while I'm painting the calipers, but I am not sure yet. It may be raining out.

    Why do those 18"s look so tiny on your car??
    Not sure why they look tiny? Haha. Maybe it's because I don't have the car lowered at all? Personally, if ASA made these rims in 19", I definitely would have gotten them, but 18"s were the biggest they made them.

    I'll probably take some more pictures on Sunday or Monday after I get the calipers painted. I've never painted calipers before, so hopefully I don't screw it up too bad tomorrow.

    Wish me luck.

    Oven cleaner is what the pro's used for ever before they came out with something made for it. I have used several times. If you are worried test it in an unconspicous spot to make sure the stuff you are using is safe. And then don't let it run down your car. I have also heard not to do it in the sun. Good luck

    K well I'll probably try the oven cleaner tomorrow then. I got a lot done to my car today. I waxed it (will put a 2nd coat on tomorrow), and I also painted my calipers red. I'm a little sore today from all the bending over, and sitting on the ground. I'm definitely gonna sleep good tonight.

    Oh, and pics will be posted in a few days.
