Yeah...looks like I'll be doing some more taping off, because I used spray paint.
This auto store I know of....I just gave them my paint code and they mixed it up and put it into a spray can for $15.

I was just going to ask, could I do this with a brush without removing anything, just cleaning with brake cleaner and steel brush?
Would take me too long if I have to take off a lot of stuff

this is my next cosmetic change.. cheap mod. luckily i have slotted rotors to replace the rusted OEMs already, so just take everything all apart at once. make it easier. I got the same kit cornholio did his with. 14.99 at autozone.

5 hours??? dude I did mine calipers right after I changed my brake pads lol
and yes black rotors looks way better than rust on a blue car. IDK about the dust/rock gard.
You did good. I like it mine are black.
Oh by the way you guys can use rustoleum paint from homdepot for $5 bucks a can and use them .75 cent brushes lol thats what I did for the budget and for something that is going to get covered in brake dust any way and look like rust in another 6 months lol
