I did mine that same way, but due to all the brake dust I create, I decided to just make 'em black!

Nice job!

Same here.. I would have gone with lighter color, but brake dust is a bitch..

Very nicely done.. Did you clear your decals? How many coats?

Here's what they looked like for about 4 days, until the fronts were covered in brake dust.

Did you paint the Camaro SS on, or are they decal stickers... I was told the stickers wont last long because the calipers get too hot...

any truth to this...

They look really good though.

yeah i clear coated over the decals. i used about 3 or 4 gloss coats i cant remember. about 4 primer coats and 4-5 color coats. the letters wont come off as long as you dont scrub them. i had the same thing before and they paint chiped off cause i didnt use enough paint and it was too cool and muggy out when i did it last. but it took me about 11 hours at work, in between workin on cars i did it. they are irotors all the way around. i have more pics but they are too big to upload
