Because someone got a much needed bath today! The Rest. That 180* Tstat is working great, even in crappy Texas humid heat, and the KYBs are proving as awesome as I thought they'd be. Now I have clear corners on order, and I'm eyeing an F1. Maybe if I don't eat for a month ..

How far are you from El Paso? Have a friend there that is a GM nut. Has 3 or 4. Only GP is a GTP, But if you two are close, he may be able to help you with some of your mods. Tips look good, but a little too big for me.

Hhhmmm... that GP looks familiar to me. Only differences are the GT badge on the trunk, plates, and rims. Arc, did a mighty nice job. Think I have to give my GP a bath tomorrow. Weather has been sucky as of late.

Well the weather isn't exactly nice here .. It gets up into the 90s with a 100+ heat index and stays that way until way late. I was up at midnight last night, and it was still around 87-88. I'll gladly take that rain, Zuul! Think I have to give my GP a bath tomorrow. Be like all the cool kids and take pictures.

Yep, I'm short on other people to take pictures for me. I think it's 'cause we know where to take them from to make our car look the best. Not to mention we're the ones that take care of them, know every little thing about them, all the dents and dings, the scratches and the chips, et cetera. We're the ones that drive them, so we know the stories and the mishaps! I used to not give a rip, T-bat. I got it back in 2003, in my senior year of high school. Previous to that, the only time I rode in "mom's car" was when I was either sick or in trouble. Thus, that car didn't have very many fond memories, plus I still had the complex of it being my mom's car until I got used to it all. My dad works on and knows about all manner of things .. And I've always been a daddy's girl, and was raised around my three uncles and my grandpa. I didn't really start wondering about the GP until I realized I'd probably be stuck with it for awhile, and since I've always liked to do things myself instead of having someone else mess it up for me, here I am today. And I really .. really ended up liking this car alot. There aren't many like it at all, and I appreciate it even more everytime I drive someone else's car. It's handling its eight years of existence, two accidents, two bad alternators and my immaturity and modifying like a pro. It deserves to look nice after all it's been through. It's so ninja-like .. So deceptively looking like a family car from any normal person's point of view .. Bwahaha! Anyway. I take care of my stuff. I'm protective. I'm competitive. I was forced to grow up early and learn responsibility before I should have. I am rambling.

I have the misfortune of living off a dirt road....I luv spending 3 hours polishing, waxing...and buffing (the car gets some attention as well) only to end up all dusty. So much for those detailing products that promise "dust wont stick". I end up pulling over and quickly wiping it down....the things we do for our wheels...

With a Honda sign in the background no less, Bobby! That car was pretty nice looking from the beginning. Come pretty far, huh? Yeah, I've been doing an average of 2 MPH up our driveway since spending all that time on the car. You know what sucks though? The very DAY after I took those pictures, I was over at a friend's house in town, and his mom decided to mow the lawn and turn the water sprinklers on ..

well, i hate washing anything to begin with, seems like in nc, it could rain anyday usually. got the big ole' ford and it takes so long to wash it, then driving it to the farm and hauling equipment makes it look dirty again. the only way to keep it clean is not drive it and drive the toyota.

Hey zuul, did you do all the painting with the brackets and calipers still connected, or did you do like TBat, and remove them?
next time I do my brakes I'm going to be painting my calipers and brackets and I want to know what is easiest/best.

i removed the brackets. i used the autozone spray caliper paint. put the brackets on a sheet of cardboard for the painting, and the calipers like this: make sure you cover all visible surfaces though., its a fun job to do!

I tried to get my butt up Sunday morning but I sat sat around watched the race and I realized that it around 5pm.... too late for me to paint the calipers. Maybe next week..... Zuul...

Interesting. I wonder how that spray paint compares to G2 caliper paint which is brush on. I was planning on using G2, but spray paint would be easier...

You'll have more control with the G2. With the spray can, you will have to cover more surface areas so that you won't spray unwanted areas with paint.

my autozone caliper spray paint worked great, no problems. just dont spray the things from 3 feet away...watch the overspray is all.
i forgot to mention the intense prep work i did.... put a wire-wheel bit on a high RPM drill and went to town on the darn things. then hit up the brackets on a mounted wire wheel. then scrubbed everything with simple green, then rinsed and dried good with air compressor. maybe i went a bit too overboard, but my calipers were ugly with this salt-stain color and grime.
i put many of coats paint on everything... basically use up the can. and now as long as i dont let a ton of dirt build up on them, they stay clean as new.
also painted the dog bones under the hood at the same time with the same paint. consider that too; saves time and it will match perfect!

I don't have a bench grinder, high RPM drill, etc.
Do you think a dremel tool would work?

I'm not really even quite sure on how to remove my calipers. Seems like every time I attempt something like that, I end up screwing something up really, really bad. So I'll probably end up painting mine and just masking everything off rather than taking a chance of screwing something up.

G2 is brush on, no need to worry about overspray. When I G2'd mine the only thing I took of were the wheels.

How did you clean yours good enough while they were attached to the car? In addition, did you remove the brackets/calipers to paint behind them and under/inside them? Did you just paint the front part that is visible? I was thinking I'd have to remove the whole assembly just to get them clean and paint the backsides of them.

I just cleaned them real good with brake cleaner, but I didn't get the pass side good enough, it's starting to chip off. It's lasted about a year. I need to get some more and do a touch up. I didn't paint my brackets, I just painted the calipers. I actually painted the brackets when I did my rotors. I removed and spray painted the brackets a flat black. As for the calipers, I just brushed where I could get, front side, top side and the front and back leading edges. Pretty much just painted what you could see. If you remove my calipers you would see that the back side is not painted. I like G2 because of its durability. You could squirt brake fluid on it and it won't effect it one bit.
If I were to do it again I would use a scuff pad along with brake cleaner, and maybe my Dremel with a wire brush if needed.

So THAT is what my redfire GTP looks like underneath all the dirt!
Nice clean job. If I ever finish the yardwork I will have to give mine a bath too.

Bobby: It loks like it's the exhaust... my father in law's 97 3/4 ton dodge has a 5" coming out of the same place in his. it looks like a semi pulling a heavy load up a big hill when he ets on it and makes it smoke..... Freakin' awesome and it looks cool. you should see how many people look at it like "WTF is that thing?!?!?!?!"
