Thank you sir. It was well worth the effort. I needed to do this along time ago, they were painted originally by the previous owner, and apparently he didn't prep them AT ALL, the paint was almost completely gone from the passenger's side rear. But, this should last awhile. I still have enough paint left to repaint all 4 probably...5 more times. Haha.

Nah. Front rotors have about..5k miles on em. Rears are still good. I'll spend that money on rims instead of rotors.

Should I paint it black, or go ahead and paint it red as well? I put that front caliper on last Saturday and the bracket is already rusted that bad -.-
