So far I have just done the front calipers..   For a total of 4 hours so far. From 1st removing the wheel to putting them back on.
Tomorrow morning I will finish off the rear calipers.  As it just gets a bit to breezy to do it in the afternoon. To keep the overspray at bay.

Of course the 1st thing to do is to jack up the car & support it with stands. Remove wheels. So much easier now I have a cordless impact wrench.
Then spray brake cleaner over everything.. & wipe over with a microfiber cloth with brake cleaner sprayed on it. Got to get the caliper clean.
Then mask up everything that you don't want painted with masking tape. Including bolt heads & bleeding nipple etc.
Then cover everything else with up with a plastic drop sheet. At only $2.50 per sheet, one sheet per side.

1st a light spray to cover. Then every 10 mins keep going over with coverage. from the top & then the bottom. To get an even coverage.

I gave it around an hour. Then removed the drop sheet & masking tape. Then just to fit the wheels & done..
And of course the new Black Wheel Nuts finish it off quite nicely.  Now just waiting for the high temp vinyl decals to go on.
Not 100% if I'll go ahead & leave them on. I'll see what they look like 1st. Ohh & they are in Orange of course  Hyundai Brake Caliper Calliper Decals Stickers - ALL OPTIONS | eBay

Nice Job Pete! Look like the only thing you didn't mask up was the Mrs! 

Pity you can't get a Brembo sticker! 

[CraigB]

They’ve come up good

I wouldn’t bother with the stickers, it’ll make em look more fake if you know what I mean

Cheers. Mask, mask & mask..   Easier to keep paint away rather than trying to get it off at a later date. Specially paint work..  Brembo decals you can get..  But Noo!!

Good job and good write up too mate  At least I wont have to ask you any daft questions 

Cheers.  Preparation takes the longest.  Painting is the easy part.

Cheers..   Yeah that's why I'm not to sure on the decals either..   Might throw one on & see what it looks like..


Well ended up doing the rears this morning..  Didn't take as long as the fronts. As I knew exactly what to do..
The advantage is I think you don't have to wait for it to dry.  Just gave it 20mins after the last coat. So it was touch dry.
Then peel everything off & fit the wheels..  Not going out anywhere today. So they can spend the rest of the day to dry..

Also on a different thread of getting Eibach springs.  While the wheels were off I had a good look at the suspension.
The rear springs I could quite easily do in less than 30 mins. While the fronts prob around a cpl of hours.
Nothing I haven't done before on my Astra changing the top mounts on the struts.  So maybe that's next ??
With the last photo with the car side on. I think a 20mm lowering would look quite nice..

Hey.  Got it all from Supercheap Auto.

I knew I didn't want Red or Yellow. Hence why I went with black.
But I did think of going Blue, as that is the Motorsport colour of Hyundai.
Here is a photo with 19" wheels

I don't care if they do.. It's not happening.. If I'd got a red one and put black wheels on maybe..

They were a very nice car.. I was a car salesman for a whole month (I hated it) at a Nissan/Honda dealer in the mid 90's and got to spend time driving Honda Preludes (sold 1), Nissan 200sx and Nissan 300z. They were the only 3 things I liked about the job. I spent a lot of time thinking about buying a Prelude or a 200sx but because I was a sole parent at that time and switching jobs I ended up sticking with something more practical (Pintara wagon)  I've made up for it since!

Yeah I loved that car....but don't want to hijack this thread.
