Your car looks very familiar to me. Can't wait to paint the calipers this summer.

Looks very nice! Couple questions though: How many cans did you have to use for all four brakes? I'm planning on doing mine red too. I watched the video on youtube by mightycarmods about how to paint them, and they suggest using a steam cleaner before you paint them. What do you think about that idea?

Thanks!

I'm using Naval Jelly and a wire brush before I use the G2 Kit I just bought this weekend.

I've used brake cleaner to prep my calipers.
