anyone know a shop around here that does polishing??

pipes/plenum/etc

 

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

 

no i dropped off the parts and they were done in less than a week! i told them to take their time with it cause i was not in a hurry to pay for the mess ups! but it turned out great and i am happy with it!

 

do what mysusnet said about the brakes...... the brush on works better than the spray on. you wont loose any brake fluid that way

 

I already have the brush kit. Maybe I will heat up the grarage.

 

Where did you get the letter stickers for the calipers?

 

My iForged wheel(one out of four) is currently being worked on by this guy in PA., he does metal polishings and seems experienced from his posting in this metal polishing site:
http://www.caswellplating.com
He is a moderator in that site's forum section.

Below is his company's home page:
Custom And Sound

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

 

Is this the sticker you are referring to?
Caliper stickers?

If so, I think this member sells them:
JVD Graphics

Thanks, I just PM'd the guy. I am going to start on the front brakes today. Try and get the two 21 mm bolts off on each side.

 

use your floor jack bar as a breaker bar.... them puppies are on TIGHTTTTTTTT

 

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.

 

Fronts are done.

 

looks great mike!!!

 

looks very good - makes me want to repaint mine! where did you buy your paint from?

 

I got it at Murrays on Washtenaw. They only had a couple of colors. I am going to buy some graphics and then put a high temp clearcoat on it.

 

do you guys think black calipers would look good on the lemans Z?

 

Yeah it would. White letters would look good.

 

no lemans letters would look even better!

 

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.
