I don't know. The only car I know how to work on is the C5. It is the only car I ever cared to work on. I won't even touch my girlfriend's Mitsubishi.

Well....... I started on the brake caliper paint job today
hnoes. Those 13/16 caliper bracket bolts were fun to get loose. I took your advice Junk and used a jack,
it worked well. all 4 wheels are off and the brakes are disassembled. I called it quits because Robin made Lasagna and I'm starving. p.s. my OCD kicked in when I started cleaning and polishing the A-arms, its gonna look good.

I just have to give the Eastwood co. props. Their product arrived fast and packaged well. When I started this project, I couldnt believe that they only sent a 4 oz. can of caliper paint,:confused then I opened it and it was half full !!!
ad 2oz. OF PAINT FOR 4 CALIPERS AND BRACKETS............B.S.!!! Well.... let me say, I did the calipers and brackets with 3 coats.......3 COATS!!! and still had enough to do my daughters Mustang GT, and the brake bands on my Dixie Chopper, And still have some left over. (dont laugh) But I was literaly looking around the garage for something to paint:W:W because I didnt want to waste it. After 6 hours as per the instructions it will harden in the can because of the hardener. SO in a round about way, what I'm saying is if you use this product dont be shy putting it on, you'll have enough

Two words. Dremel Tool.
Yep. The letters are raised. Buy yourself a dremel tool and wisk the paint off in under 2 minutes! But wait there's more! Okay there isn't. But it was that easy. No masking, no vaseline, no fuss. Just a dremel tool w/a little wheel and viola! Spray w/clear coat and even Martha Stewart won't know you don't have high end brakes!
