89 rag- are those powerslot rotors?
the hubs dont rust on those, you could have left them silver.

Yes powerslot, I painted them black because my wheels are hyper black, the transition from hyper black wheel to silver hat looked strange to me. It wasn't a rust thing, it was a "looks" thing. I think it looks better this way.

Sorry, I forgot to add, my brake calipers are not painted, they are ceramic coated. I thought it better to do them once in ceramic before the calipers were rebuilt, now they are a small maintenance item to detail, not a tear down and refinish every season.

cool, thanks for the heads up on the heaters. So any noticeable difference between the primed and unprimed calipers?

I found that stuff at a boat marine place... They sold it in 15 gallon drums... I only needs 1 gallon. THey said they could special order it for me, 2 to 4 week wait. I said thanks and went to the local hardware store to look at what they had... VHT caliper paint it was.
Banzai, you done your manifold/plenum yet?

Two fully refurbished control arms. Removed every single bit of rust I could touch with my finger. Anything that i couldn't touch I used the rust converter stuff again. VHT caliper paint with canadian tire primer.
Has two new bushings for where the triaxial floating hub bolts to. Brand new pillowball mounts, 2 brand new seals, and energy suspension polyurathane for the main bushing.
Only thing I wished was that i sent it out to be acid dipped instead. Stripping rust off with an angle grinder and wire wheel takes forever! That and the little wires that fly off hurt.
This car will be ready for the Solo1 time trial driver training - Saturday, May 7, 2005 at Mosport Driver Development Track NO MATTER WHAT!!!!! ready to contest Canadian Automolbile Sports Car-Ontario region SOLO1 rookie of the year in SuperGrandTouring3.
