Painted Cailpers / Rotors
 

three of the four are done.....wound up losing my shade this morning. here you can see i was working on 2 at once....gotta love jack stands

all taped and painted

heres the rest. as you can see i decided to use some rust remover and wire brush to take off the rust on the center area and painted it with some chrome (even though you cant see it when the wheel is on). also have the canter caps in my apt and might try taping them off and doing them black

this wasnt all that hard to do even with the rotor still on the car (couldnt get the bolts with the phillips heads off). the rear doesnt have those bolts though and come off easily. also decided to paint the back side of the actual brake pad to make it match and hide it. didnt look right the other way. did this last minute to both sides.

looks good!

I did the same last night - painted the centers black. I also painted the edge along the edge of the rotors since they were also showing signs of rust.

I'll try to post pics of mine later today.

Speaking of rotors, I washed my car, and as I was drying it, I noticed the previously shiney metal started to get brown rust on it. Damn that stuff goes fast! Ah well, it goes away soon as I start using the brakes...

nice...was thinking about the edge myself...but was too lazy to tape off the whole thing. i guess a brush would work better. post a couple pics...right here in this thread is cool with me.

and yes i got some paint on the rotor as you can see....but thatll come off with the first time i apply brakes i am sure

I used photoshop to lower the shadows in this pic so the insides could be better seen....

damn nice...when morgan comes down im gonna bring my car over and do mine at your place :P
