that 2G TL is a trooper. Can't sell that. It's been totaled but I had no insurance on it so I fixed it up. Put close to 30 000km on it since then. Then this weekend on the way to Calgary my serpentine belt snapped after my AC compressor seized. So the batter wasn't charging and I took it as far as I could. Lasted me 50km before I came to my destination and still started after I was done. And then I got a shorter belt and bypassed the AC compressor and I am still driving like that without problems. 2G lives on haha

^Lol sounds like a trooper indeed.
Myron I'll be placing 2-3 more orders in the next few days. I seriously need to hide my credit card from myself. This is almost getting out of hand lol. But I will be quite prepared when dealing with most paint. I'll just be missing the major purchases like a water extractor or paint thickness gauge. Those are way out of my price range.
Arthur I get my stuff all through online retailers. I've purchased from eshine.ca, autowerkesexclusive, and here in Edmonton autoobsessed. Only thing with autoobsessed is you can't pickup locally, it has to be shipped since they don't have a store.

Anyone know where I can get this paint for brake calipers: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51jjsa-UeQL.jpg
I went to Canadian Tire and all they had was red and blue paint and I am looking for black. I wanna paint my rear brake calipers black to match the front and then paint my hubs black too. They are rusty now and I would hate seeing rusty hubs and new wheels. Let me know if anyone knows anything about this I am trying to do this today.

^He finally chimes in!
So I take it you still have your car? I remember seeing it for sale on 780tuners last summer when I was in the market for a TL. What kind of wheels you got there?

I am doing it now. I just did the hubs, I am too lazy to do the calipers and I like how the silver calipers look actually. I just cleaned them up with a dremel and the little wire disk attachment and they look nice. The kit is 24$ and there is no way I can use up all the paint so you can have it man. You mihgt just need a brush but you can take that out of the box in the store haha

painting didn't take long but it took me a while to sand the hubs cuz there was a lot of rust on there. Only surface rust off course. I didn't drive the car all winter but a few times and it just happens. I am doing the fronts tomorrow, I need some new wire brush attachments for the dremel. I used up all the ones that come with the kit haha

Nice to meet you all,
v|nsan|ty - Yeah i did have it forsale but then ended up wanting to keep it lol. Those rims on my car were my buddies sevas, but they didn't fit on my car so i'm riding on the stocks right now lol.
I would be down to meet up sometime to do photos, but I work evenings usually

Any of you guys got any idea where i could get my 07-08 key cut and programed in edmonton? Besides the dealer. I didn't even check with them if that's possible for them to do for a 05 TL. I know there is a vendor on here that does it I just wanna know if there might be places like that in the city.
