i sprayed some brake cleaner, sanded it off, and used regular spray paint that protects against rust. this is just a temp fix. imma use G-2 paint later for the final product

Looks 10x better. My question is how the hell did your calipers come look so bad? Also I wouldve recommended you to use High temp engine enamel that you can buy at Autozone & Pepboys. Bcz if thats just reg paint, theres no telling how long it will last. But for a temp fix it still looks good.
You gotta be careful when doing like this tho bcz sometimes paint can still contact the rotor which will be a problem. Thk you for not painting red like everybody and they momma does! That shit is old! What color are you using from G2?

i have no idea how they got so bad but i got tired of looking at them lol. Yeah im gonna get some high temp paint and do it over again once i get some motivation haha. I painted it then drove for like 5 minutes so if there was any paint on the rotors it would have came off before it dried all the way. I was thinking of going for a flat [not shinny like it is now] black with gold or white GALANT letters going on the calipers like ive seen Krispy i think has on his sig. what do you guys think?

you can order OEM style lugnuts on Rock-Auto for pretty cheap, or you can search on Socal3G for someone local that might have them (that's what I did).

I actually like the look of the chrome lugnuts with the bronze wheels.. I dunno
04-19-2010, 01:48 AM
E_Emerson88

im thinking of doing matching brakes. Black calipers w/bronze GALANT letters and bronze wheels w/ black lugs. i think it would look good. sounds good im my head lol

You have to use oem lugs because of the lug seat in the wheel.

If you are using factory Mitsubishi wheels be sure to use lugnuts that look like this:

Or at least a shank style with a washer, preferably factory style as pictured.
