It's not about size, it's how you use it.

i can help
i have painted mine 2 times now. so instant message me on just about any messenger or email me and i would be glad to help. If your looking for a paint that is reasonable get caliper paint at your local pep boys or auto zone etcc. its not top quality but if applied in several layers with a good primer it will come out good. MAKE SURE YOU USE BRAKE PART CLEANER!!! IT DEFINATLY HELPS. i have pics on my site under the projects page.

also here are some sites that have top quality paint.

http://secure15.dellhost.com/~d30022...pray_paint.htm
http://store.yahoo.com/machv/brakcalpaink.html
http://www.streetbeatonline.com/brakcalpain.html


hope this helps since most of these guys are here like its AOL Passing emssages instead of helping.
