what sort of brand is the paint?

Prep: Spray with Engine Degreaser, rinse thoroughly with a water, let air dry, light 100 grit sanding (just to rough up the surface), wipe with laquer thinners, let dry, wipe with isoprophyl alcohol and lint free cloth, let dry, apply 2 dry coats and 4 wet coats of base coat (15 minutes between coats), 6 wet coats of color (20 minutes between coats), 6 wet coats of clear (10 minutes between coats). Cure for a few days then remove paint from "Corvette" letters

Paint is Dupli-Color Mirage paint - MP-403 Red/Blue Kit

Default EG's rotors
Stephen, could it be that your front rotors are reversed, i.e. left on right and right on left? I believe the manual indicates the cooling fins should sweep to the rear of the vehicle. Correct me if I am wrong,please.
