I took my calipers off for paint, not worth it, added a **** ton of time dealing with the brake fluid and made a mess reinstalling the lines which ate some of the paint.
Also stripped them down with aircraft remover, again, huge mistake. Left an uneven surface finish where it didn't get all the paint off and I didn't have two weeks to sand perfect. All around learned my lesson. Will be powder coating from here on out. Definitely disappointed which is hilarious because I've painted past calipers in my driveway outside with a better result. Tried to go the extra mile and it backfired like crazy.
Swift springs took 2 some hours, brakes, consumed my whole f'ing long weekend.

Yay another member with an Arkym Diffuser instead of a Wald Diffuser. I approve!
Can you show me some up close pictures of your installation? I'm re-doing my diffuser because there are gaps near the bottom when it curves. Also be sure to check if there are any pressure points because I didn't check before and now I have 3 paint chip because the actualy diffuser digs into the bumper.
I think I'm going to double up the tape where it curves so it sits flushed.

... but this car is still covered with swirl marks and scratches, so whenever I find time in my busy schedule it will be receiving a full paint correction and nano coating, and I will do my best to document it and share it in the detailing forum

My brother and I went out to get some shots of our cars right as the sunset was setting. I think the shots turned out gorgeous.
I thought I'd share it with like-minded people.
PS. Quality is kinda crap since it had to resize when I post this, but full resolution looks awesome!
