          I know the calipers are course and I didn't know about getting all the oil and stuff out of the pores

            use some good primer to smooth it out a bit.

              I used this $15 kit like 7 years ago and it still looks pretty good today. Almost every single autoparts store has it.

              they make red, black, silver, and blue.

                covers are probably the single lamest thing you could do to your car, followed closely by the interfooler.

                just spend the two hours to pull and paint them. not a corner that should be cut lol

                    Painted are great when you prep. Powder if you have time and the budget allows...

                          Yes but they sell rebuild kits and they're not too difficult. I sandblasted and painted mine, but will have [MENTION=1993]Darren[/MENTION] powder them if I ever do it again.

                            I was thinking about doing mine but was having trouble finding the rebuild kit I would need.
