Cya guys in 2 hours. Got some painting to do.

Must say, from pic 2 to 3, I thought your brakes exploded into newspapers. It looked sort of like that. LOVE the job you did. Looks extremely professional.

When you applied the coats, did you wait between them or do anything special between them? If so, how long did you wait between coats?

It says do not wait more than an hour between coats and if you do than wait 5 days. I just waited 10 minutes from the end of the first coat, I've got zero problems.

You just have to wait long enuff for the paint to become tacky.... so the next coat doesnt run depending on the weather prolly about 15 mins between coats....Im wanting to do this cheap mod but its cold and raining now so Ill have to wait...plus I cant decide on which color would look better on alloy, red or black ????
