I don't see how a three hour project and all the work that was put into it could make us seem "lazy". The difference between our cars, and a Ford GT is that a Ford GT owner probably has the resources to have someone else take their brakes apart, and powder coat each piece. I, by the way, do not see paint and powder coating in the same category, as powder coating is not only more expensive, but also a much greater quality than paint. You can't compare how this turned out to how powder coating would have looked.Other than not taking the pads off, I can't understand where you have come to the conclusion that we are lazy. We took the time to do this project (almost) exactly as we were instructed.If you have the funds, and or resources yourself, to take the brakes off of the lines to work on them, then by all means that is the way to do it, and the way I would have wanted to do it if I could. If you don't have the means to do that, or have someone else do it, then I believe this is a perfectly acceptable way to make your Mustang look better to the general public. I don't know about you, but I doubt that anyone has ever gotten on their hands and knees to look at your calipers, and the quality of workmanship in the painting of your calipers. To be honest, I doubt anyone ever will. At no point in this did we think we were taking a shortcut, and if we did, it was through the instructions we received, not because of "laziness". A snapped bolt is not paint, and can not be held to the same scrutiny. Of course there would be more effort in finding the correct bolt to replace a snapped one than making your caliper paint job up to Concours levels of perfection.When I get my set of PBR two piston calipers in a couple weeks I will make another write up, since they will (obviously) already be off the lines, and I can have my dad bleed the brakes to make sure everything is in check when they are mounted. I'll see if I can get whatever stamp of approval I "need" from you guys.</blockquote>
