One Way Posted January 22, 2016 Share #25 Posted January 22, 2016 Beautiful work! Encourages me to keep going on my project. Did you bead blast the calipers before painting or was that paint thick enough to give such a smooth looking finish.? I am still in the tear down stage of my 280Z, not even close to thinking about caliper restoration, but always looking for good ideas for my Z. The fender flares may be a better option for my rusty Z instead of a patch panel for the quarter panel edges. Thanks again, John-Lugoff, SC.

I may be somewhat against the grain, but I don't like POR15. I've experienced too many adhesion issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used a wire brush and chemically cleaned it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been working on the final assembly, and leveling the panels. I want to make sure everything is good before I paint this thing. My motor is almost done. Eiji (of Datsun Spirit) will be bench running it next weekend. I need to make sure I have a home for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
