Had the blue but wanted to change to wild lime. Didn't think anyone had it until I saw NorCalIS post on here. But here's a quick pic to see what it looked like before I changed the shims, springs, pads etc.

Is that clear coat? Can you tell us where you can purchase the can? Thanks. I want to paint mine black with clear coats afterwards

I know the paint has to cure but don't want to put them in my oven I was wondering it it would work if I put them in a toaster oven???

An oven is an oven, and heat is heat. A toaster oven will be just fine, but life is way more fun when your SO catches you putting interesting things in the oven from time to time.

Can you use a heat gun instead of oven? My wife would kill me if I put those in the oven

Would yellow look ok? I bought a duplicolor yellow caliper paint kit at 99c store for 99c a while ago, there were no other colors
