Looks nice, i'm debating on getting red caliper covers from MGP. Only I have Vista Blue GT/CS and am wondering about the red color looking 'out of place'!

Ok, tell me. Did you even turn that paint off those rotors, or just run about and grind it off with the brake pads?
And did that mess up the pads?
Because now? I'm ready to do mine... but want the info first. Also, what kit/paint didja use, and method?
/that 3rd pic in the second set... them calipers look nice.

[ATTACH] Here's a new one.[/ATTACH]
the over paint comes off easy,,first tripe down the road ,one or two hard stops ,I did mine over two years ago with on pad problems ,best to do the painting on a warm or hot day ( summer time job ),but clean everything first,do some lite sanding also first so the paint will have something to hold to ,to keep the brakes from flaking when they get hot.Attachment 72889
