I painted all four. Does your car have rear disks or drums? I really don't know much about the 3.8 cars. I did see another car recently with painted rear drums and they looked cool.

Be sure to tape-off the areas that you don't want painted. I put plastic over the entire wheel well to avoid over spray. Each caliper took about 5-6 coats to look the best and I used a hair-dryer between each coat. The paint dries fast with the dryer. I would use the dryer for about 1-2 minutes and then it sit for a few more, and then hit it again. Before the last coat, I let is stand for about 15 minutes.

I would also say to avoid washing the car for about 24 hours.

After a few months now, they still look as good as the first day I painted them.

I am not sure which antenna you got, but I already brook it. My brother was putting the cover on when it snapped, so I had to get another. Be careful.

Good luck,

Blake
