Either you have a nostalgia channel or your age is showing. I can remember seeing Jr. Samples give used car commercials with BR549 for his phone number. Anyway, I will take a half dozen. BTW, good post on the road course.

Oh okay, just making sure because you have less than ten posts. Didn't want someone to actually fall for this.

Good one. I think it was Dr. Chill who posted a picture of his toasted calipers a while back. Glad to say that mine are still showing their true color.

I know this is kinda stupid but...

I think you're almost insane to want to powercoat them back to original (or whatever) color. The gold is absolutley hot and I think you should keep it to show those in the loop that 'hey, that's a track car, and it's fast.'

My neighbor walked down to the house today when I was washing the car. He gave me a check. Took me back for a moment. "AMG GOLD CALIPERS" in the memo section.

I think the gold is clear coat discoloration.
