Painted Rotors!
« on: 05 September 2008, 12:08:39 »

This weekend finally I got some time to finish those awful rusty rotors... now the car looks 10x better, and I hope it stays that way until I get my new rotors..

Those will likely receive the same treatment.. except the vents will be left black.

Enjoy. ..

Comments are welcome.

Beautiful. In my opinion it's little details like that, that really make a car stand out.

Well thanks for the comments everyone, I just couldnt stand looking at the rusty rotors and the nicely painted calipers there.... They were new Brembo Rotors that I put on the car a while ago and they came with stickers and for the longest time I doubted putting them on since the calipers are not Brembo at least the fronts, but couldnt find PBR stickers and finally decided to put them on a little while ago...

Last weekend I finally stopped and looked at them... a bit of wirebrush work... and some sanding... got the surface cleaned up and I threw a quick layer of High Temp Engine paint... ALUM color, and to my surprise it turned out beautiful... the color was close to that of the wheels and as you m8s said they match quite well and they stand out now. they look clean and I think they make the brakes look so much bigger too.....

Later this week I will the exhaust modded and finished and I will post pictures of that as well.  

Thanks again.  ;)
