I assume "other" accounts for rattle cans too, so that's my vote.

Thanks for the replies guys they all look good. I forgot to ask in my OP if you guys took the calipers off or just masked the pads/rotors...I'm not too mechanically enclined so I would like to leave them on...what say y'all? Thanks.

before I did the Z06 brakes on mine, I had the Z51 I just painted with a brush and left the brakes on.
Taped off and put chapstick on the corvette part then scraped paint off.

I sprayed a few sets with great results. This time I tried the Duplicolor kit. I don't like the finish. It looks ok from a few feet away, but I don't like it. The G2 kit may be better? If I do it again, I will spray them. Powdercoat is the ultimate way to go as seen above.

I used Dupli-Color. I tried to vote, but it said I had already voted, which I hadn't.

How do you guys mask the brake pads so well? Is there a trick to it...Most videos I see just show it masked but not really how they did it.

Hey how did you get your corvette letters black? I'd be afraid to paint those with a brush after painting the calipers, looks great.
