as always......great job.
What paint did you go with....G2, or spray can?
what did you use for the stencil?
I'm going to do something very similar.
....also, I was thinking of painting the back of the pad black. Did you consider that?

Gyro: I used a spray can of high temp I bought at Discount Auto; it was easy to work with dries pretty well/quick and was 3.40 a can... I used silver and black for the calipers and semi-flat black for the rotors; completely removed the calipers and rotors... Took the support bracket for the rotors off the car taped them and painted those hanging on a hanger then with the caliper still attached with the brake lines taped everything off including the wheel wells and painted... The rotors where off the cars and painted with a round template I made (two sizes f/r...) The Mazdaspeed stencil I made from scratch using some large labels I printed the Mazdaspeed logo the right size then cut out with an exacto knife making sure not to cut through the backing paper. I then removed the surrounding material and we now have stencils...
