Thanks, How did you paint your brakes? they look really good.

mrbmwx5 05-16-2008 01:59 PM

for the stopping power its awesome the AKEBONO ultra ceremic pads bite very good.
for the painting Krunk you mean the calipers? or the rotor? the rotor came in with silver ZINC that mean there wouldn't rust ,the calipers i used G2 brake paint that was done 5 years ago.

Krunk Man 05-16-2008 02:01 PM

Sorry, i meant the calipers. So the G2 brake paint, i'll do a search and see what i can find. Did you paint them yourself?

mrbmwx5 05-16-2008 02:07 PM

you can go to Ebay and search G2 brake paint its will pull up tons of them many diff. colors. http://search.ebay.com/search/search...aint&category0=
and the painting job is very easy just sand it with sand paper and clean it good with brake cleaner then brush it on waint 40min. to 1 hour for drying time.

very cool, thanks for the info mrbmw. Now if i can just decide on a color.:dunno:
