Thanks man! After seeing yours, you continue to raise the bar for me. I like the touches you added.

Also looks like my date for the Flowmaster install will be Monday. I'll call the mechanic to ensure his book is clear and I'll drive it in to work. Also my guy who lives in Pendleton will stop by and do my window tint as well. By the time I drive back home, I'll be where I want to be and I can start the afterburner tail light project on Tuesday or Wednesday.

I only lightly sanded the central area with 1000 grit, then cleaned with cleaner, prior to applying the adhesion promoter. I also did a light wet sand with 1000 grit prior to applying the clear coat. It still has the bumpy texture in the end.

Thank You !! I will work on it this weekend.

Those calipers go through allot of heat and i would suggest to use a paint designed for that but I am not a specialist. I would like to use my factory paint as well for my calipers but feel it would wrinkle up. Keep us posted.
