Yup! Lots of "break caliper" painting goes on in that group.
Understeer: You will hit the wall with the front end.
Oversteer: You will hit the wall with the rear end.
Horsepower: How hard you will hit the wall.
Torque: How far you will move the wall.
Gone hunting with Alec Baldwin and Dick Cheney. Back soon.

I gave up 2 years ago trying to keep the calipers looking perfect. I guess living in the south has proven that lots of rain (yes, I drive it in the rain) mixed with dirt circulating at extremely high rpm is similar in effect to sand blasting with an added vortex punch.
The older I get the less I care about the paint chips and dings that I discover regularly and more about getting in the car and just .... driving!

Just ask DT or Frunky (and know it has just continued to age since they saw it!).

My break calibers look like a sack of drippy dick tips.

Re: Good Week @ 996Outpost.com
Full disclosure: I use black Rustoleum in a rattle-can to touch up the paint on the bottom of the chin and behind the rear wheels where road grid takes the paint all the way down to the primer. I also have triangles of "carbon fiber" Di-noc ahead of the rear wheels to mask where cones busted clean through the paint on my side skirts. The paint on my front bumper cover is probably being held together by the decade-old clear bra...
If you want concours, go somewhere else.
