nope... i used vht engine enamel primer first then laid 3 layers of basecoat then 3 layers of high temp clear to finish it off. I'm looking into buying the eastwood powdercoat kit after I buy an oven that can heat up fast enough to 400. I'll see how this holds up for awhile then I might try the powdercoat since I know that'll work for sure

Just finished mine too. I used POR15 paint (brushed) and VHT clear aerosol. Its only been a week, but looks great. That color is sick, looks like Petronas F1 AMG color.

yeah its actually off saturns color line lol.. they only used it for one year on their cars if I remember right. Was hard looking for it but I found it on a couple of other cars searching around. i really want to paint my car in that color if I dont do a whiter white than what my car is.

ok got the fronts installed but I had to order the c32 rear caliper mounting bolts since the oem ones on my car was too short. Also finally ordered my rear H&R sway bar since eibach doesnt make it anymore just waiting for it to come in.



have to polish my wheels but its been raining lately. Gonna take the wheels part so I can change the color of face



gonna lower it more in front after the faces are redone

Hey question about the roof rack. Did it ever cause any wind noise or rain leakage?

Thanks

Wanted to ask you about the stickers you put on the calipers. There was a vendor that used to be on here that sold them but I think he is out of business. Where could I purchase those stickers. I want one that says, "Mercedes Benz." I see plenty of stickers w/ "AMG." Since I don't own an AMG I don't want that.
