They went back on about an hour ago. Coated black.parking brake spring is coated silver so is all the hardware. He did a ford blue on the Ford script on the calipers. I'm pretty happy with it and the price for parts. The "rebuild" was pretty simple no suprises. Seal kit Advance auto 17.97 have to order it a day before you really want it. Mounting bracket with slide pins and grease 19.99 Autozone. not sure if I was supposed to get the pins but they were with the brackets oh well. The seal kit also had the slide pin boots so I got two sets of those per side. I guess when these start getting nasty I'll toss the extra's on. All and all they turned out really nice. I think I might have him do the intake and covers next.Although we wants to anodize the intake and covers.

I "rebuilt" mine with the so-called rear brake caliber kit from ShoNut. Kit contains new slide pins, bolts, washers, gaskets, grease. Then I painted them glossy black with the G2 PaintSystem. You have to use a brush, so it's not as easy as spray painting. But the finish and look is unequalled to anything else I've ever seen. They look totally professional. I'll send you a pic if you like. I did the same with my front calibers (Baer's with a red logo.)
