Can you show me a picture of Quicksilver, I'm not familiar with it, also it looks like you want to send yours, not exchange, correct?.

Do you disassemble or leave the pistons/seals in?
Thanks

Normally, I leave them in and mask them off. I've done over 50 sets now, without a problem, including 4 of my own cars, past and present. If you want them removed, its an extra $50 charge for new seals, as they aren't reusable.

385-400 degrees, depending on the color, well below the design threshhold of the caliper seals.

Oh well, on to plan B.

Have you come up with a color match for the 2003 Anniversary Red, I was thinking having all of my calipers done anniversary red to match my car color also.

Thanks

Great, so what is the next step if I want to get mine done? And what do I need to do in order to get mine painted Anniversary Red? Also how long is the turn around usually?
thanks

I just updated the list and added you to it. Figure 3 weeks for every 3 people on it, but I will have a 4th complete set soon also, so it could go a little quicker.

To my customers,
Please at least acknowledge when I send you a message saying its your turn. I've had problems on the C6 side, so if I don't get some kind of reply within 24 hours, I will have to move on to the next person. You will still have your place for the next set though.

This is the best I can do for silvers. I have never seen quicksilver, so I can't really say what matches best.

Dumb Question maybe?

When you send the replacement calipers are they aready painted your color to just swap out or are they just ones to drive on until you send yours in and are waiting to get them back?

Okay last question from someone that doesn't know alot about maintenance issues. Is there a difference in calipers like if mine have 19,000 miles on them and the kind your sending? Just trying to figure out if I should do the swap or just send mine in for the coating and wait?

I just ordered some slotted roters figured I should do it all at the same time.

thanks
Bob
