the front cost me $342, including the rotors and pads from LP and a $16 Duplicolor caliper paint kit from Pep Boys.
Total time?? 8-9 hours... frickin 4 hours spent cleaning brake dust off the caliper mount and caliper. the other 5 hours was spent drinking beer watching paint dry in between coats (4)... haha

the rears (next weekends project) cost $218 rotors and pads from LP, still have 3/4 can of paint.

Looks good. I've been wanting to paint my calipers but I always seem to have something else to do.
