It wasn't and did you miss the part where it ate through my caliper paint? :icon17:

I just used wheel cleaner to clean the wheels and the calipers. I've done it before without issues, I guess it just slowly ate through the paint and it just got through the final bit of it today.

You and I are going to have to not park side by side else we'll have the same setup. :bowrofl:



They're all yellow. Mine is too and I'd love to have a red/black/gunmetal, hell even invisible one just so long as it isn't yellow. If you find one, let me know!

That caliper paint is super cheap, either chemically with brake cleaner, or with pressure from a spray washer it comes off after about 6 months.

I'm gonna call around to powder shops and see If they'll do the dipstick for cheap.

Just occurred to me that the coolant tank can't be powdered because it'd melt (lol). It'd have to be painted.

I did. I bought the entire set. Did D&V miss one?

Yeah I'd go with powder. Calipers take too much of a beating to be painted.

Yeah it's fine, I didn't expect too much from it.

Yeah, and the dipstick handle is plastic, so it would melt as well. Painting is the only option, unless you get the can of plasti-dip and actually "dip" it into it... which might work??



I don't know, looking at that picture I can still see the black boxes. Either you don't have them, or D&V left the boxes in the piping system.
