Thought I would just detail the calipers, but I had to go further. I painted the one wheelwell today and found a paint that matched just fine. I've cleaned the others but not painted yet. Oh well, I just like clean. My wife asked me "why" and I had no explaination.

How the hell did she even see your wheel well from the kitchen?

:rofl

I dunno gaspump, I've always been accustomed to the inside of the wheel well being black/dark grey. Otherwise it looks like (to me) that somebody forgot to spray the underseal onto the underside of the car.

Abaddon, I felt the same way. I even posted a thread on it. But I've come around to the fact that it was that way from the factory and now I want to keep it the same way. I wanted to undercoat each wheelwell, but thought better of it. My car, except wheels, is all stock. When I look in the wells now and see the bright red paint, it just makes it all better, knowing it's clean. I don't drive it very much, so hopefully I won't get caught in a mud/rain storm. If I do, it will wash off faster.

My car is diamantschwarz, so I guess I'm OK either way.

Yeah I'm dark gray, so thankfully I'm covered.

But hats off to your detail work, I am anal and OCD enough to care about such things, I'm just too lazy or cheap to make most of these things happen.

I approve of this...I just replaced everything from bump stops to springs. Everything was cleaned...took a magic eraser to my shocks/strut assembly:embarrasm
