This Memorial day weekend I refreshed my brake caliper finish, painted Lug nuts and Brake rotor hubs. I wasn't ready to repaint and decal so I short cut by scraping off peeling clear coat, scrubbing calipers with soap and polishing pad. Looked way better just doing that. With the Clear coat, I am very happy with the finished product. Way better then the peeling faded calipers before. I also took time to paint the Rotor hubs and lug nuts.
I'm going to have to repaint in a year or so. That's when I'll add SS lines and do a brake overhaul
Down side, didn't get to drive much over memorial day weekend, especially when I see the drives other took

Today I fixed my passenger side door lock mechanism. It was behaving erratically sometimes no longer dropping the window to clear the rain gutters.

Did some snooping around on the Internet and found a fix that involves re-soldering the pcb inside the door lock mechanism. Not terribly difficult but ask me how many times I put things back together the wrong way...

After that, we went out for a nice long drive to celebrate.
