New rotors and painted calipers...

I needed to replace my brakes and brake fluid and since I was at it, I replaced my GM factory disks for some nice slotted and drilled rotors. Then I was like, while I'm at it... I repainted my calipers and added the "Camaro" decal and had them clear coated. Looks flippin sweet! Total cost was about $300.

Well what you guys think?

PS. The clear is still wet when I took the pics.




Now I'm ready for the new rims !! That will be another day...

All I could find was high temp. spray paint at Autozone. Worked ok, after I masked off some areas and did the best to keep the paint from getting on anything. Unfortunatly it was kinda windy that day, so I did get some over spray on some things. But it's only noticable if you really look at it with the wheel off. Thats why I painted that one piece silver, since I hit it with the paint trying to paint that one piece on the calipers. With the wheel on you can't see the imperfections,.. looks like I bought them that way .
