You guys think I am that stupid? They aren't drilled, and I know for a fact they are real Brembo's.

i never said ur stupid, brembo aftermarket rotors are the same as the oem...cause they are oem, and they do go on ebay cheap.

I know, not you Cam, I was refering to NC.

the cadmium-plated rotors i previously mentioned were silver.

according to this page (supplier i bought from):

http://www.pdm-racing.com/products/brakesrotor.html

they can be either that or gold.

How many cans of paint should I need to paint all four rotors and calipers? I was thinking 3 cans of base color, and 1 can of clear.

you're going to get hi-temp clear? Why?


bling bling, y0!


3-cans should be more than adequate, TJ. The goal is rustproofing and minor cosmetics, not show-car steeze right?

I used 1 can of high temp flat black header paint for all 4 rotors. taped off the rotor surface, painted them and they've held up great.

ditch the clear, get one can of rotor colour (black) and 2 cans of caliper colour....whatever suits your taste. make sure the bleeders are loose or else u'll need new calipers. be sure to tape off the bleeder port and the brake hose port....but u and your mutilple painting jobs should know.


lets see some after shots when your done.

Hmm, didn't think one can would cover all the rotors. So you guys think I should do the rotors black? That's a good idea actually, if I paint the throwing stars black. Then silver calipers.

your only doing the hat of the rotors so that takes little to know paint, tape off the rotor surface and most of the flat of the hat orelse they paint will get on ur rims when u mount them :shock:
