Default Painting Cross Drilled Rotors & Calipers pt1

i finally got the chance to get my cross drilled rotors turned,i been patiently waiting to put them on but i wanted them to look great so,since i havent been driving my car at all i decided to wait it out & do them completly right the first time they look almost new again,but i cant put them on my T/A with rust on them so im painting the rotors & while i have everything apart i will also paint all 4 brake cailpers black & red,i love painting things,but i dont like the prepping side of it,but i have been around body shops all my life & how you prep plays a MAJOR part in how your job will come out so i will begin sanding & taping the rotors,then spraying bulldog on the areas im painting to make everything stick i cant wait til everythings done,stay tuned for the follow up pics

I'll be watching this... just disassembled my entire rear end and painted with POR 15 and also sandblasted my calipers (yes I taped off the bleeder and piston) and sprayed them with red caliper paint. I also ordered new rotors and pads and am thinking about painted the center and the fins black so they don't rust in time - is this what you're doing also?

im really painting the hubs on the rotors black,i got them off a Camaro in the salvage yard,they were rusty,but the bummer is im going to wait to put them on because i have to buy matching crossed drilled rotors for the rear so it looks like im still plaing the waiting game LoL!
