    I feel like this deserves a camp fire story.

    I never had any catastrophic failures with the hairspray versions I had growing up… though the threaded cap did go ballistic a few times.

    Going to be overhauling my brake system pretty soon. Looking to maybe throw some of the POR paint on the calipers. What’s the consensus on a brake color for this motif? I’m thinking black or silver.IMG_1548.jpg

    @BlueRibbon4x4 just did the blue. I think that would look nice, its not too bright, not too visible, but just adds a little color.
    If that isn't of interest, I'd say black over silver. They are basically silver now :anonymous:

    They are basically silver indeed. What I would hope to see if I painted them silver would be that brake dust easily streaming off of a smoother surface than what the caliper currently has. Who knows though? Pie in the sky?

    They’re definitely smoother. The Por15 lays down pretty thick. I vote blue too. It dries much lighter than it looks in the can. IMG_0067.jpg

    That does look pretty close to cav blue. I guess blue is in the mix now. Thanks for the pic!

    Yessir! It has that pastel overtone, just darker. It would definitely look great with Cavalry. :thumbsup:

    I normally don't suggest garbage options :rofl:


    But I'm always a fan of adding some blue if it works.

    Make sure you add a couple extra torques to the cam nuts so you don’t blow it out on Sunday

    I had one alignment done that way, and now I go under and hang on the cams with a wrench to lock them in. Pretty sure a loose alignment cam is what flattened one of the cam tabs (after I hit a big ass hole at speed, too...)
