Refreshing the stock caliper wasn't as bad as i thought it be . Most time consuming part was cleaning and polishing up the mazda letter. Clean it up with brake cleaner and take a 400grit paper dry sand it till the letters shine.
i tried what others on here suggested with a drill or rotary tool to wire wheel it . Didnt turn out so good it was gouging the metal making it rougher and rougher lol
anyways once its shiny i cleaned the rest up with a wire scrub and brake cleaner. Masked off the letters and hit it with VHT black gloss caliper paint. Once it drys hit it with gloss clear.
A-vuala nice caliper

FYI you don't have to mask the letters off. Sand them and get them all good, then paint the caliper. After the paint dries sand the paint off the letters. Much easier than trying to individually mask off each letter.

Got me some oem head light lids at a steal price thanks to ebay 1 time coupon code.
annnnnnnnd a box of reall good goods . Finally...
also i may add i restored fate in fedex boxing skills once again
each item is double bubble wrapped and stuffed with shipping paper as separation. The part being shipped is heavy..has striaght edges and quite fragile if landed onto the right way .however, who ever wrapped these at fedex, thank you. You did a great job.
