Somebody tells me the truth...

....why it took me close to 2.5 hours for each caliper to clean them up? Man....I went through 4 can of brake cleaner and I am idle right now due to busted wire brush.....

Currently waiting for a friend of mine to pick me up since I am just too lazy to put the wheels back again...

I believe painting my calipers and install the new rotors will take me close to 24 hours process......

Giddy up! Need to stop buy some beers to keep me "juiced".

Just need to vent everyone.....

Thanks guys......

....I just finished painting the fronts.... ..Yup, you hear me right, bub..... only the fronts....

I don't know about you guys, but it took me 6 hours to clean up two fronts, and it took me another 3 hours to paint them (primer, red, clear coat).

Man.....I am like ..but it's done...

Tomorrow I have to take pictures of my buddy and then disassemble all 4-corners to replace the rotors and the pads.

I am leaving the rears as they are....I don't have energy anymore to clean and paint them. It's now 1am and I am ready to sleep....
