Dupli-Color Caliper Paint vs. Caliper Covers

Caliper Paint or Covers?

When you’re thinking of customizing your brake calipers you have a few options: you can purchase aftermarket replacements by big name brands like Brembo; you can pick up a set of inexpensive plastic imitations, you can purchase a set of covers from a company like MGP; or you can go the completely custom route with caliper paints from a trusted name like Dupli-Color. The real question is why would you choose paint when the other options seem to offer more or less the same results?

You Really Can See the Difference

The video above is a great little video put together by the folks a Rvinyl and showcases the ABS brand of plastic calipers. As you can see, attractive as they are from a distance, they fail to add any protection to the calipers. In comparison, the Dupli-Color paint offers a variety of colors and may even protect against corrosion and rust.

Features of Dupli-Color Paint Kits

• EZ Touch® Conical Nozzle
• Ceramic resins resist heat up to 500°F
• Fast drying durable finish
• Dry to touch in 30 Minutes
• Handle in 1 Hour
• Resistant To chipping, chemicals, and brake dust
• For use on brake calipers, rotors, and drums

As yo can see from the list of features, this paint can be used on just about any part of the brake unlike caliper covers or other aftermarket accessories. In the end, the caliper paint is far more versatile and protects the brakes in a way most other accessories cannot.

The Benefits of Nitrogen-filled Tires for Your Ride

Nitrogen Filled Tires

There are a number of threads on the various automotive forums (Gearhead Central,Cheers and Gears, etc) and on the Rvinyl Blog about using N2 in your tires. There is evidence that it reduces deflation from seepage and can give you a 1% gain on MPG overall. These claims make some sense but just looking at the PTE you see that N has a weight of 7 and O has a weight of 8. These gases are diatomic so that means N2 weighs in at 14 and molecular oxygen at 16.From the weights at least it seems that oxygen might be the bigger molecule so it should seep less. Then again it’s been awhile so there may be more to this than meets the eye (think VSEPR theory).

So, the results are in and…

…it turns out that I need to go back to school. For reasons that I won’t get into, diatomic nitrogen is a bigger molecule and can’t escape from inside the tire as easily. So, what are other potential benefits of using N2 in your tires? In short, they are as follows:

1. Prevents wheel rot
2. Cooler running temperatures
3. Better fuel economy
4. Improved tire pressure

It’s clear that using nitrogen in your tires wheel save you money and heartache in the long run. And, according to Drew from Cheers and Gears, Costco offers standard inflation with 100% N2 and great warranties to boot so it’s not like you have to go anywhere exotic to take advantage of this low tech, high concept money saver. Happy Monday everyone!

Custom Tuned Exhaust Systems

Intimidation through Sound

We all know the sound: the deep, gravelly growl of a custom tuned muffler.

Fortunately for me, I was oh so very wrong.

Endless Selection

These days quality exhaust parts and systems have fallen in price dramatically without a corresponding loss in quality. It is now possible to purchase a real, pre-tuned muffler made of stainles steel for under $100 and made by a reputable manufacturer such as Spec-D Tuning.
