Default sick n tired of this(pic)...then do this...

i know i was sick of looking at my rusted as calipers and rotors so i decided to do something about it...

i went out to pep boys and get some high temp engine paint, and then came home and went to work...i used a wire bush end witha power drill, and basically "sanded" off the rust...wiped clean, then brushed on about 2-3 coats...this paint is also a rust protectant so that it won't rust again...but one of my friends have did it and it lasted about 3 months...good enough...i'll do it agian when the rust shows threw... but heres a before, and after pic

looks good!:thumbup:

You probably shouldn't have painted over the rotor screws. Not that it really matters if you have an impact driver or impact gun, it'll rip the suckers right out anyway.

It does look better though.

it looks as if the pics of the painted and rusted one was from the rear disc brakes... i think.. cause i know my front calipers on my crx are no where near that small..



on topic:

hey nice job man.. ever lil detail like that makes the car look better and better.
