Finally got to the front calipers yesterday. It was a long job - 6hrs (I made it long) since I disassembled the front brakes and gave everything 5 coats.

I decided to go black instead of red, and I think it turned out really nice (camera batteries shot so no pics ). I painted the rotor centers and edges flat gray, and the mounting bracket and caliper gloss black.

Thanks Mark for the decals, they look great, and I'll get some photos in the next day or
so.

BTW I torqued the mounting bracket bolts at 70 ftlbs, anyone know what the spec is?

Noe to do the rears, but I think I'll wait and POR15 the rear axle at the same time.

Well the camera is all set, I'll get pictures in the morning before I head out and hopefully they'll look as good as I thought they did last night when I finished the job!
