AFTER,I think they look better red.I also don,t have concerns about this being 2 pack paint rather than heat proof paint.Iv,e painted calipers before with 2 pack and had no problems at all.

As there,s nothing to do on the car until front suspension comes back from powdercoaters.I decided to have a good poke around the entire front end for any signs of rot,just like i did with the underneath and the rear.Pleased to say i couldn,t find any rot att all....UNTIL!!!
