Did some detailing work on interior today, while we got another 5" of snow.
Searched this forum for a body-style thread, to no avail...my apologies for going off topic a bit.
2015 Mustang 50Yr appearance - rear fender and window vent functional or just cosmetic ? Thx

Not functional, just cosmetic.

But a person can cut a circular hole and run a duct hose toward the brakes like they did on the early Shelby Mustangs. Hehe.
Nah, don't wanna add weight to her 😁

So I finally got around to painting the calipers today after painting the rotor hats. I used G2 caliper paint and had them make a custom batch for me in Velocity blue which is the same color as my car. They do this but charge extra for it.

Overall I am pretty happy with it, I will say it was way more work than I was expecting it to be with all the prep work. I painted the rotors with VHT black caliper paint.

In case anyone was wondering I did 4 coats on the calipers. I have gloss black brembo decals on the way but they have not arrived yet. Which is fine because I need to let the paint cure before putting on the decals.

That little bit of red on the caliper pins is just masking tape that I forgot to remove before taking the pictures.

Will you put high temp clear on them after the decals to seal them?

So after you put the decals on, do they get clear coated?

I used this paint on my other car before and never put clear coat on them and they lasted so far about 5 years with no damage to the decals. Also G2 says NOT to use any clear coat on them.

G2 is a two part paint. So I'm assuming thats why you don't clear coat.

just got my battery disconnect switch and will install it Sunday. Now I won't have to keep it on a tender all winter. It mounts to the negative post and has a rotary switch knob, it will allow me to keep the battery cover on after it is installed.

My insulated garage door was installed on the 5th so now my shop is heated again. I sure missed that. My equipment doesn't like cold weather, nor do I. This week is going to be really cold 15 below for much of the week but the shop will be 60 degrees.
