this took forever...
there was a lot more work involved than just the painting what you can see. took them off, cleaned the living crap out of them. wirewheeled them. coated them like 10 times...used a whole can for two calipers. re assembled...but had to touch up a ton of fingerprints, cause i'm so inpatient. of course, when i took off the fuel line, i had to misplace that ever so important brass washer/seal/compression thing...UGH
nonetheless, it ended the evening with a brake bleed...which is awesome, cause now my truck's brakes are awesome.

yea...you can't see fingerprints because after they were installed, i just wipes them as much as i could, and sprayed the spraypaint into a foam brush. honestly, it would have been smarter for me to just buy the paint-on stuff, not the spray. this way i could have left it on vehicle, and not have to bleed my brakes and ****.
