Looks great.

What did you clean them with before? Did you sand or do any prep work?

Is this just rattle can paint and clear?

Yeah man thanks berti00 we only painted what people can see the inside was not painted. The surge tanks are easy to come off but make sure to primer them and clean them real good

Could you provide the brand of paint and clear that you used?

I used the G2 caliper epoxy crap on my brakes and it was a nightmare. They need to be redone.

Thank you

You have to clean them real good with engine degreaser first then spray brake cleaner then 320 sand paper to scruff the whole caliper really good and then brake cleaner again to clean all dirt off then use these paint first then clear

Did you take the surge tanks off to paint them, or did you just mask them off? And did you just use a heat paint on them, or a clear coat too?

Only suggestion is to paint the hat on the rotors too. I think someone suggested black, I personally like silver better.
