brake pad removal/re-install If I took my brake's apart to paint/polish them, can I re-use my old brake pads (they are still good) and scuff the rotors with 150grit sand paper. Or do they have to be thrown away because they have already been broken in to the rotors.

Well I'm no expert... oh wait I am... haha--at least im suposed to be :-). Here is the deal, you will be good if there are no grooves on the pads. It is a good idea to hit the pads as well as the rotors with the sand paper. Also, it may be a good idea to clean the contact areas with mineral sprits or lacquer thinner. I hope this helps.
Good Luck
