I would, Kris, but the car is sooooo filthy. Excellent work by the way, Kris. Thank you for all of the attention and time.

I'll post up some pics after I wash the car. Actually, we should have done a detailed DIY.

Dang, you need to wear a respirator for that sort of work. There I go again, sounding like the old fart that I am.

Nothing fancy . . . With Kris' help, I replaced the OEM rotors with Rotora slotted/drilled rotors.

Yes, the paint is perfect. Kris sprayed some 7 to 8 coats of black high temp paint on the front rotors. Actually, he sprayed both sides of the rotors. Thanks for the suggestion, guys.

Thanks for the PM Andy,

Also I would love to see some more pics of these brakes!

I want to see how that paint looks after it has been driven on.

Yes, that was the best time to paint the rotors, Chris. Steve did an excellent job of painting them the first time, as well. He took much care in making sure that the rotors were clean prior to painting them. Unfortunately, the rotors had to be changed out, as some of you are aware. LOL . . . Stuff happens.
