Default Some photos from today's Sunday drive.

It was a mostly sunny day here in the Pacific Northwest so we drove out to the Washington coast, took some photos on the beach, and played with the new video camera on some winding roads. Pretty fun!!

Default Painted brake caliper info and photos inside.

We used the G2 brake caliper paint kit, color red. The red is not an exact match to our brilliant red but it is close enough, and when peeking out between the spokes of the wheel it is hard to tell anyway. We painted the calipers two days after we got the car so that they would have minimal brake dust on them to start off with. We put the entire car on jack stands and we both painted at the same time since the paint hardens 4-6 hours after being mixed and the whole process is very labor intensive. We put three coats of paint on each caliper and still had some left over. After the calipers dried for 24 hours we applied Audi and four rings decals that we bought online from XenonMods.com. We bought both white and black decals and decided to use the black ones. Here are some photos of one of the front calipers.
