500. Not exactly the temp you need if your at the track every day but high enough for the driving that I do.

I'll have all that on here tomorrow morning when I come back to work. I don't have internet at home so I'll have to wait until then. Is there anything in particular that you guys want me to take a picture of while doing the other three?

Nice work, hope it holds up. Did you have to strip the original powder coat or clear coat?

You are correct sir! All of these questions will be answered tomorrow. If you are looking for something to occupy your time this is the task for you. It's a very easy mod but it is very time consuming.

although not done with paint, here is my set:

(sorry cell phone camera sucks)




this was the first set i've done, i took them apart, took the seals out, the powdercoating place blasted them, taped them off and coated them (i did white, cause i'll prolly be going with sa-70 rims in bronze).

the second set is on the way here. i wont be seperating the halves again though, because they are torque to yield calipers (i.e. they strip out when they install the bolts the first time)
