[QUOTE="cobraCMDR, post: 5051657, member: 25210"] Here is what I did and this took some time: Take the brakes apart. Painted the rotors ( I sanded the paint off later dont worry) with duplicolor spray caliper paint. The brackets I took off as well and painted with spray caliper paint. I left the calipers themselves on the car but hanging so I could paint them. Prepwork for the calipers was not much, just degrease, light sand with 200-400 sandpaper (to give the caliper paint something to stick to). Those calipers tool about 5-8 coats of red to get like that. The first couple of coats will look like crap all blotch and such. get a few base coats on and let it dry for a few hours or a day or so. Then finish up with 3-4 wet coats. Just slop the stuff on pretty heavy it levels out well and does not drip to much since the paint is kind of thick. For the cobra lettering I just used a razor to take the paint off later, then hit it with some 400 sandpaper to give it a brushed look. Hope this helps! Ken [/QUOTE]
