I see a similar thing with music. Some people get very tribal about their genre but the true enthusiasts can appreciate almost anything. I think it’s more about being an a-hole. And those exist in every generation. I got a Miata in the early 2000s and I got a ton of flack about it being a chick...

Thought you might be colour blind before I spotted the yellow fence.

Is there some kind of negative trade off with these additives or why are they not manufacturer recommended and/or already included in the coolants? Can’t imagine it’s just cost when some are so cheap.

And that guy in the video can really talk.

I’m not changing my caliper colour, but if I was, this sounds like the way.

What did your repaint cost?

I guess if you get $2000 out of the old ones, the price might be comparable and you have factory level paint.

Sorry, I don’t. I saved the one that came off my car.

I gather you spent $4400 ordering your preferred colour from Lotus then? Did you price out painting your original calipers instead?

I’d probably go at it with a wire brush and then spray the ACF-50. I don’t know though. Someone else may have a better suggestion.

Oxidation/rust. I sprayed mine with this stuff as soon as I got it home per recommendations on this forum. Seems to be working.

it was held on by one screw and 2 of those plastic push pins. I was able to reuse the screw but the push pins were toast. I ordered a replacement pack off Amazon. It wasn’t too bad.
