    I saw that on cardomain. I didn't know that was you. I was checking cardomain today and saw that. HAHA Looks awesome! What paint did you use? Nice work! Your not going to get that CF spark plug cover offered by RRM? Did you put a clear coat over it?

    i painted my calipers today ... i have graphite gray, so i painted them black. i was thinking about blue or red but i didnt want to get to crazy. i'm goin try and keep the gray/black theme. i'll get some pics tomorrow when the sun is out, it kind of hard to see, but hopefully when i change the rims, less spokes will show them better

    I suck at painting and taping stuff off....is there a trick/faster way of taping of the logos so it is ready to paint. the way I was thinking of doing it will be mucho tiem consuming and not 100 % perfect

    the way i did it was, i took a piece of masking tape and placed it over the letters and the mitsu sign, then took a utility knife and made careful cuts..

    is 1200degree paint necessary? cause i have left over paint from the brake caliper kit, and i believe the paint provided is up to 500degrees. would it be bad if i use this on the spark plug cover and mivec cover?

    well think about it. Its really hot under the hood. I used it just because i didnt want it to flake off or get nasty looking. Regular paint will shrivel under the heat. and also will get sticky. you can use the 500 degree one, i just had this one so i applied that one. looks amazing and its not sticky..
