First appearance mod on new car. Had to do a brake job today, so i decided to do a little paint work while i was in there.
Before:
After:
I used duplicolor caliper spray. About 7 dolars a can and still plenty left to do the rears.

Everyone who asked what he did with the rotors read this post, post # 5 in this thread:

Brand new rotors are NOT shiny! He replaced the rotors. Look at the before picture you can see the uneveness of the rotor face and the after pic is smooth. In post #5 he was explaining how he painted the hub black.

The whole front surface of the rotor shouldn't have been painted. I painted a little past my line and they now howl like a dog. I can only imagine what the whole rotor would sound like. Let us know
