Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Decided to start my caliper paint and rebuild project as I didn't have any plans for the long weekend. Glad I did as one piston on each side of the rear was jambed and even with a compressor I could' get them out. Had to boil the caliper to heat it up before they popped out. Rear pads were wearing uneven.
now it's literally waiting for paint to dry
Up on stands
Popping seals and pistons
First coat of paint
Looks like you have been productive. I did alot of driving. 200+ miles on Saturday alone. Also replaced the driver's side front wheel well arch adn the right front inner CV joint boot on my C4 Cab.
Cheers to independence.

Decals on and clear coat applied. I used duplicolor red caliper paint and vht satin finish clear. Going to bake the paint in the oven tomorrow morning.
Arggg! So the clear coat ate thru two parts that were not completely dry. Guess I'll have to sand and redo these sections. Lesson learned, wait until the paint is fully cured before clear
Typically you can clear within 1 hour of the base coat or after 7-10 days. You obviously landed in the realm in between which is a no no... Nice effort though.
Today I built a ramp for my deck stairs so my aging dog (she'll be 16 next month) can get to the back yard without being carried. Not a car project, but I'm sure all you dog owners can relate.
Tony and Dion -- nice job on the gauges and brakes, respectively!
Well good and bad news. The touch up on the spots turned out well. The bad part is I started to reassemble the caliper only to figure out Centric packed one 28mm and three 30 mm dust boots (supposed to be two each) in the kit. Trying to resolve with partsgeek but it another delay and the car stays on jack stands for now. At least I can work on my stereo install.
