Yeah the step lip is dusty.... I know


I painted the rotors flat black, they had scratches and rust so it looks fresh!

 

Looks damn good. I hope they stay in that condition!

 

thanks, yes they will, proven with my evo9mr.... still the same paint condition for a whole year, no sign of flaws.

 

They look real good "350z Now" I actually just did mine the other day also. I actually did the same steps you did, with the exception of the paint removar. I primered them with a white also but painted em purple. I actually like the way they came out. Ill post pics of mine probably tomorrow if i get a chance. Im just looking for the brembo decals...where did you get your by chance?? Thanks, and again...good job!!

 

looks great! good job! I would do this if my car rocking the blacked out theme, red calipers and red lug nuts will create a great contrast.

 

I ordered it from Brembo, took a while to ship. They are the exact measurement.

 

i think it came out nice.. like factory. great job.

 

Very nice job. Great work..

 

looks very nice. has this caused you any problems with your others calipers on the other car?

 

I'm not sure what you're asking me, but all 4 Brembo calipers paint are in great condition, no flaws, no problems from beginning.

 

well i do have to say u did take your time personally i think it came out good i probably wouldnt do the paint stripper but i think it came out nice.+ u removed everything to do it ive seen cars in my town that just remove the whel and tape it while its on and go at it i almost want to slap them with my hand full of baby powder. so my opinion is it came out good

 

I just picked up a set of brembos, wish I could ship them to you to paint them red for me

 

Looks good. I just did something very similar to your process on my Stoptechs. DIY soon to come.

 

Did the clear coat finish ever get a tint of yellow? I heard the brake heat makes it react and shifts colors?

 

1 st off good job and thanks for making this thread.

I have a few questions:


-Did you have to strip the paint off, why not just sand the orange paint down a bit just to give the red paint something to stick to.

-Is the primer necessary, and if so because it is not high heat primer how will it hold up.

-How will the red paint hold or how has it held up, since its not high heat paint.

-How long did you want to sand and polish the clear coat, what did you use to polish it?


thanks

how has the paint been holding up, since day one?
