I used the G2 paint to paint mine white, it isnt cheap but nice and thick. havent had any problems with it chipping what so ever. Ive changed my rotors,springs and tires on seperate occasions (should of painted the calipers last if Id of been thinking) and zero chipage

Got new gaskets for the new manifold install. Anybody know where I can check these part numbers to make sure the parts guy didn't screw up like they usually do?
Manifold to block
FS01-13-460A
Converter gasket?
KL19-40-450
Turbo outlet
0000-88-C19
Turbo inlet
0000-88-C17
That all look good? I'm not sure about the one labeled converter, since I wanted one for the s-pipe to j-pipe, not the catalytic converter unless they are the same kind?

lol flyinghawaiian, ya I think I might just go with the spicy orange for caliper paint, I can always repaint them after a couple years and still be happy... it's just going to be a PITA getting the red caliper paint I have on now off, it's pretty thick and is holding up well so far.. but I would LOVE spicy calipers with some orange lug nuts.. mmmm

I think you should get black mica mirrors to match your lip kit.

you can take a foam brush and actually paint the paint on the caliper
thats what i did with extra i had laying around lol just go to carquest,
get a half pint of ready-to-spray paint in ur paint code and just do like 3 coats brushing it on there
make sure u clean the s*** out of the caliper though

ya thats what i did with my calipers..except it came with a normal paint brush..by the end the hairs on the brush had all fallen off from the paint lol...but i just laid it on semi thick and it came out great..much easier than taking everything off and spray painting it i think.ill have to get some spicy caliper paint sometime soon
took the msp to what i thought was a good deal to get all the dents removed... he quoted me at $750i think ima see if i can learn to do it myself. oh also when i wot my wideband drops to 10.4.... not good is it.?
go to a paintless dent repair place, it only cost me 90 bucks for an hour and a half worth of work

Yea I got 5 dents on my car. 1 door ding, 2 small ones on the trunk, 1 big one on the rear pillar, and a huge ****** on the roof. I know a paintless dent repair guy and he quoted me around 100 or so. Sounds like a deal to me.

man, other than this little tiny tiny indent on the top of the roof that you can't see unless you look into the glare from the sun, my car, I am happy to say is dent free... but those damn scratches/chips on the front bumper and other random places.. now those are a PITA, I hate those, I will get to that sooner or later though..
which actually makes me wanna ask if anyone has had their car professionally "touched up" basically someone who can do a better job than me (I have tried yes, and its ok, but I want better lol) to use the mazda touch up paint to fix the little dings here and there on the bumper and stuff? anyone ever done that? (not a whole paint job btw..)
