I know a guy who used to be "the guy" you go to to get your motorcycle wheels custom painted/polished...well I was at his place one day and his house really smelled bad inside. when I inquired why...he showed me that he had a set of wheels baking in his oven!! [sm=bangbang.gif]

I couldnt believe this was how he cured his paint jobs!!

Well, the oven is also commonly used to unseal the headlights on the 3... so you can install angel eyes.

I have seen those 2 part kits for painting calipers. Mid America Corvette sells them. I don't know how the price compares to Pep Boys, but I ordered a few things from them before, and they shipped right away

I once did my calipers on a different car I owned. I sprayed them, but it is a hassle because you have to contend with wind, and overspray. If I do the calipers on my 3, I'll definitely be using the brush on kit this time around.
