Not trying to hijack this thread but has anyone thought about painting the hubs of the rotors? (just the part you see) I have a black GT and plan to do red calipers and the hubs black. Painting the calipers does make them look great but the rotors can just take away from it. Just my .02.

later,

Looks good ... I just came home from Autozone and picked up a Red Duplicolor brush-on kit. Did you do the brush-on paint? Did you have to disassemble them to paint? THanks ...
