Why do all parts from the parts store come uncoated? I think I am gonna take the wheels off when it warms up, take my grinder and go to town on them with a wire wheel and paint them.


Because this costs money, is why <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

That's a great idea to coat them. I thought about taking mine apart (the body splits into 2 halves) and spraying them while I was waiting for the rubber kit to come in stock at the dealer. If anyone wants advice to do this there are several write ups with photos on the internet, just search for "girling caliper rebuild." The ones on the Jag are just like ours.
