Painted rotors/Calipers
To much time and a can of red paint and here you go.
Well since I am still waiting on my front rotors and brackets for the C5 brake conversion I decided to do some work on the parts I do have. I painted the C5 calipers and an extra set of rear rotors I had that are turned and ready to go (I will scrub them when they are installed one last time) I cleaned them up using my die grinder with a scrub pad and some brake clean then I primed them and shot them with some 1200 deg. engine paint (Supposed to be a ceramic coat LOL)
Question, Who has painted the rotors red and how hard where they to keep clean?

Very nice work. I'm in the process of doing the same thing, but I'm going to paint the rotor hubs and the caliper brackets black.
I have a couple of questions. First, how much did you have to scuff up the anodizing on the calipers to get the paint to stick? Secondly, how did you remove the paint on the Corvette script? I was planning on using a wood block and wet/dry to remove the paint.
TIA.

Scufed them fairly well, I used acitone and a rag to remove the paint fron the Corvette lettering.
Nice work
