Spent a couple of hours on Sunday customizing the stang. Got the duplicolor kit from Napa $22 and painted the calipers red. Its a real simple process. Jack up front put some jack stands under for safety then remove wheels. I taped up the surrounding area with newspaper and masking tape to avoid mistakes. Used a brush to clean the calipers then used the supplied cleaner spray that comes with the kit. Painted the calipers with my own brush as the supplied one is really small. Let dry for 15 minutes and then applied the second coat. Spent a few minutes cleaning up the wheels since they were off and then remounted them. Repeat the process for the back wheels and your done. Whole process took a couple of hours but I did have a friend helping me doing one side while I did the other.
I used a torque wrench set to 80 ft lbs when mounting the wheels. My car did not come with a owners manual so I dont know what the proper setting is. Am I in the ballpark at 80 ft lbs?
Am very happy with the results and helps differentiate my stang from the hundreds of rentals on Maui roads everyday!
