Since I'm going to be working nightshift over the holliday weekend I decided to start early and work tonight on the brake caliper's. I may as well stay up most of the night since I'm going to be the rest of the week.
Got the high temp ceramic kit from O-Rileys today.
Caliper Paint features Ceramic Resins for maximum heat dissipation. It wont blister, flake, crack or peel.

Cleaned the drivers side and have the first coat on it.

The picture is a lot more red than I thought. It's not that bright in person.Well in a low lit garage it ant!

Thanks,
Just came in from putting the second coat on. Tomorrow I will clean the passengerside before work. Then paint it the next day before work. Says to let sit for 24 hrs before driving it. So I should be able to drive it Friday night I hope.
I may do the fender wells also since I have the wheels off. Clean them up some to.

Drivers side is done.

Working on the passenger side now. Got it all cleanup ready to put first coat on. I used my 4" grinder with a cup brush to clean this side. Took about 15 minutes. Sprayed it off waiting on it to dry good.
Pretty easy kit to use I like it.

Got the first coat on passenger side done waiting to dry and do another. I'll beable to drive it tomorrow night now. The wire brusch sure helped speed up the process.

Thanks everyone,
the kit was easy to use. Say's it's good for 4 brake calipers. I have over 3/4 of the paint left. I may do the back drums who knows.
