I started to clean the calipers in November, and used a Dremel tool to clean the metal. Base coat, Top Coat and Final glass coat. All two sprays each.
Used a full can for each double coating. Cost: $70
Purchased a caliper rebuilt kit, but got stock N15 brakes (is there such?) as the pistons were different. Not to worry I managed to use bleed screws, small jet opening?, seals, grease etc. Polished up the original pistons to like new. They were in great shape anyhow. Purchased two NISSAN decals, and applied them before the final gloss coats.
I'll be taking the Red Jett out in a few days for a bed in.
DONE, after six months!
