Thanks for asking, no Mod's lately, however I did get my Front Bumper re-painted. As u can see from the close-up pic I am attaching, my paint was badly chipped on the metal portion of my front bumper & absolutely no where else...Weird
Anyway she looks much better now
* Ruby-Red is stupid expensive & hard to match, my paint guy worked hard.

FWIW, Black goes with everything
Clean your caliper's with a wirebrush, then spray with brakeclean and mask off an area around your truck. Make sure u push all your caliper pistons in before you paint, so u don't scratch your new paint. Most important with ceramic paint is to paint in numerous light coats, I generally do 3-4 coats. You can paint the caliper mounting brackets in the garage separately & I let the paint cure overnight, then reassemble the truck.
Red Paint for the Red Beast
P.S...There is a very IMPORTANT brake in procedure you MUST follow for the Powerstop brakes included with your Kit.
Which includes a total 10 specific stopping procedures to bed the pads correctly.

Brakes look awesome, too! I knew you'd make it look better every step of the way.

To be honest Warren, if I paint the calipers at all it will be nest summer. Right now I'm in the final semester of my degree program and I'm so busy I barely have time to maintain the truck. My weekends are booked now thru the end of December. I'll probably just drop it off with my mechanic one day while I'm at work. Let him do that and change the oil and have it done by the time I get off. I'll have a friend at work drop me off at the shop on their way home so I can pick it up.
I hate being this busy, but the end is in sight!

Very easy, I dropped the glove box door down & popped off that small panel on the side of dash. I could reach right through & see what I was doing. Honestly I didn't have 30 minutes from start to finish, in both front doors.
