OK... work is slow so here is what i figure we need.... if i miss anything.... LET US KNOW!!!

~ Steel Brush (for rust removal)
~ Stuff to get off all grease and debris before starting
~ Jack Stands to do all 4 at once (crap!)
~ High Temp enamel *Primer*Paint*Clear Coat* (engine paint works.... Jonny recomments Ceramic primer, paint and clear coat)
~ Paper and Tape (to take off what you DONT want painted)

Words of wisdom from Dan  *SAND*PREP*PAINT*


Looks easy... but a short list... hmm... what i miss??

Also, i mentioned this to Bill the other day... be might paint is calipers that day too.... damn non focus owner!! ;)

you need some sort of prep to get all the grease and debris off the calipers and drums..

You will need jack stands so you can take all 4 tires off at once to get things done a bit quicker.

Start early do you have enough daylight.

brake cleaner would be the best thing for the grease and what not, that's some good stuff there, gots all the good solvents in one easy to use container (don't get in your eyes).

I think we have a member getting married that weekend, but I'll have to double check.

I'd really like to redo my calipers and do my Drums.  At the same time I'm going to really look into changing my pads to EBC Greenstuff.

I'm not going to worry about space. If we don't all fit in my driveway, we can use my neighbors that is closest to my house, they have two and they never use it and they let us use it all the time.

And is it just me or did you list jack stands and something to get off grease twice in that list there Pokes?? ;) It might just be the sleepiness in my eyes still though. I dont know if I have jack stands at my house or not, daddio might have some, otherwise ill have to take out my sub box ( not looking forward to that bc it weighs a million pounds) and get my jack. We'll play it by day though.

Good deal :)

Tiff.. i dont know what you are talkin about... i dont see de-greaser and jack stands on there twice ;)

Jack stands are gonna be an issue i think. I might go take a gander see what kinda investment they are. I wont use them much but might be something nice to have around ;) Bill I think said he was bringin his. Not sure though.

I think that if anyone has jackstands or extra jackstands it would be greatly appriciated if they were brought :)  would be nice to be able to all work together ;)
