Painted Limabean's calipers today
First, I must say thanks, and give credit to Zendrumdude for the paint mixing help/post!!
 The cybergreen color is pretty dang close. It took about two hours to paint all four calipers. Seemed double that to preclean. Again, not a big hoo-ha about painting calipers, but love the custome hand mixed color. [IMG] [/IMG][IMG] [/IMG][IMG] [/IMG] The rotors will get a good cleaning, derusting, and polish before the new rims go on. The rust kinda downs the new paint huh?? Sorry about that! [IMG] [/IMG]Pretty close match I think. Just got to black out that grill now! Limabean isnt perfect as you can see under the grill. Got to get all those small blemishes fixed. We do plan on having it repainted in the near future.
