I recently repainted my calipers from silver to Lime essence and flushed the brake and clutch system using Motive brake bleeder.


Which was a good think since a burst of air bubbles was released and improved “smooth” shifting from first to second when cold.

 

Did you paint them yourself?

 

No, I removed them and had the paint shop do it. / Tri-coat paint, base, pearl and clear. $350.00

 

That sounds quite reasonable. I'd like to do the same at some point. Just had the calipers ceramic coated; so once that wears down then it'll be time.

 

Looks great, nice change. On a different note, how are you supporting the car in the air (wheels off) while on your 4-post?

 

I have a rolling jack on the lift, so I lift the rear first from the subframe and place jack stands at the rear jack points and than move the rolling jack to the front lift points.

 

Did you drain the brake system or block the lines while the calipers were off?

 

blocked with snug vacuum caps on brake lines flare. Do not allow fluid to go below min level in the fluid reservoir.
