Whoever it was who recommended the brush on caliper kit over the spray on, you were absolutely right. The brush on kit gives you a much nicer finish.

Yup, did them in black. Red was too "look at me". I only used half the can, maybe I'll paint the centers of the rotors as well.

i would definitely do that they do tend to rust a bit if they are not coated.

Agreed. I always paint my rotors. Prevents most rust from growing on there...

Looks like I won't have to paint them, ordered the Centric Premium rotors.

They are Power Slot rotors without the slots. I was going to order them from CFM, but RockAuto has them for cheaper.

Did you use the 5% off discount? Saves a few pennies. Just google it. They do many different ones for different web sites. FF has one.

Like the Centrics and the calipers.
