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.
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.

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

You need to have Shado give you his before he trades his Z in for a whorevette...

My Z will probably be going away around the same time. I'm not upgrading my brakes anymore. Mine are good enough for the track so I'm not spending anymore money on them just for looks. When I get rid of the car, I'll give the calipers some sanding to get it back to OEM look.

Oh yeah, I understand totally. They look good when the paint holds.

How long will you be keeping it for? Part out prior to sell?
