You guys gonna buy me em? lol


I think Im gonna do blue 8)

Red would look good with your wheel color, when you see calipers you look at them more with the wheel color than the car color.

Yep. I just used a wire wheel, and this other thing, kinda looked like a round sponge, but was hard as a rock, and put it on my drill

You could get that A LOT shinier if you did it in more steps instaed of just 2 steps.
it'll look like a mirror if you do it right.

Gasoline and a metal brush always worked for me.
When you are done spray the rusty area with a High Temp spray paint. Throw a clear coat on there for extra protection if you wish.
