Full report later, for now I rest. Took longer than it should have, had issues with the front wheels (plastidip inexperience). The rears were quick and easy. I may redo the fronts sometime, but for now they pass the 10 foot test

What did you use on the calipers? I need to refinish mine on the Evo.

Duplicolor caliper paint kit. Comes with paint, a brush, and caliper cleaner.

Hey, at least the car was registered before this mod. 2 days ago!

I think we should just get you a kit car. Then you can modify it before it is even built.

Looks much better than the chromed-out Sonic I saw today.

What issues did you run into with the front wheels? Planning on dipping mine soon so I'm looking for as many tips as I can get.

Looking good!
I've been toying with painting the calipers on the Subie, if I did, I'd do them in black or silver I think. How well did that kit work?

I did the coats too light. I found on the back wheels it was best to do a light coat for the first coat, then heavy coats for the next 3 (5-6 passes on each area).
So I finished it, and it looked mediocre on both. I did a few more coats on one, it was passable but I need to redo it sometime.
On the other one, I just messed up, accidentally wiped some off while it was wet. Tried peeling off, it wouldn't come off on some areas. I figured doing another layer on top would work. It did not, looked awful. So I stripped it again, with some spots unbearably difficult to clean. Took a half hour just to clean it off. Redid it, looked great.

That looks really really nice. Did you pull the calipers to paint them?

No, just taped it off. If I'm feeling brave someday I may take them off to hit the hard to reach spots I missed
