No but I am going to buy a chrom (polished) intake pipe for $100 from **********.com.
I think I may have to take the calipers off because my garage isn't heated and I think the calipers need to be warm for the paint to stick. maybe I should get my *** out there and read the box. ETX, is your garage heated?

i painted my calipers a while ago, its pretty easy to take them on and off, its prolly worth it to take them off, do it inside, etc etc.
the reason im asking about a place that polishes stuff is because i want to get my plenum polished

He is a moderator in that site's forum section.
Below is his company's home page:

Once I get my wheel back, I will post my feedback on this shop.

Worked great. Front calipers are painted. Just waiting for the paint to dry before re-assembly with ceramic pads. I will do the rears tommorrow. I'll take a picture of everything later.
What do you think?

i might just paint em black with no letters on them. ive been debating black, but cant decide if it would look good or if it would look tacky. i wish i could find a pic with someone who has black calipers on lemans.
