I jacked up both sides and put them on jack stands so I could do two wheels at a time. It would take a lot more time doing it one wheel at a time because you have to give some time in between coats of paint.

That looks good. I also have Matador Red Mica and was considering doing the red caliper paint, but since the Duplicolor red wasn't a perfect match I thought it may not look good. I think yours turned out pretty nice though.

I'm sure you can find someone in your area that is on CL. It's a very simple mod to DIY. You just need to be patient in between coats of paint/clear coat.

Get the decals at www.bombgrafx.com. Get the Duplicolor Caliper paint from Checker, Schucks, Kragen Auto or Autozone amongst other places. It is very common and can be bought locally.
