So you really did the brakes with VHT high Temp Burnt Copper? I'm amazed at how they look... wow!
I noticed your originals were scratched up at the top. How did you sand all the little crevices and things to get such a smooth look? I keep reading that people say to chemically strip the old paint/clear coat off but that seems extremely time consuming.
This one that you posted:
Did you have problems with the VHT paint or clear coat? I keep reading that the clear eventually turns yellow.. Did you also bake them in the oven like they recommend?
Thanks,
