No more rusty rotors.....
Got around to installing my rotor hub covers and painting my calipers today. I got frustrated trying to paint around "CORVETTE" on the front though...so I said screw it and painted over it. Next weekend I'll take out the dremel and sand he letters back down.
I've seen better jobs here, but hey......painting ain't really my thing, and they're MUCH better than they were.....so I'm happy!

They've got black and silver too. Looks like they raised the price though....I only paid $119 a month ago....

If you want the lettering to go easier, i bought a paint pen and then went over the letters a few times, if you have some patience, it will look great, i did mine about a year about (black calipers with white lettering)..

Do not use a Dremel tool, just take a razor blade and scrape the paint off. It is by far the easiest way and a Dremel will scar the metal and make it look like crap. BTW...Nice Job

Looks good! Just sand off the tops of the letters in a couple of days, and maybe dust some clear coat on top to seal it up and keep it looking good.

Don't really need to scrape, just "drag" the blade across!
