Hey,

I think it was like $500 (which i believe i was ripped off since the mirror have small chips in them from highway debris. This was done back in 97?? And as for the caliper, it does take a while depending on what you have. A floor jack and supports would help in saving alot of time rather than the stock jack. Plus the first time I used a high-temp primer then used the red (each paint = 2 coats) and that takes several hour (drying time, which can be reduced w/ use of a heat gun) but now i re-spray with red every summer to give it a wet look and that takes only 1 hour to do all 4. Other than time it is as easy as painting a stool, just tape over areas you dotn want over spray. Thanks for the compliments guys
