Perf Rear Rotors-little upgrade (UPDATED)
Got my Perf rear rotors from Dan @ united, and it appears FedEx lost my fronts
 , so While I was waiting for them to be found, I figured I'd do a little preventative maintenance prior to installing them. Soooo, I masked them off, sanded up the hubs and hit them with some Hi-heat black paint, and cured them in wifeys oven for an hour @ 350deg. (She didn't appreciate the smell.  )Im runnin VMR 710 wheels, and thought since the rotors are so visible through them it may be a good idea to paint the rotor hubs so they dont rust up and look like ass in after a short time. What do you guys think? Will do the fronts when they arrive. (Was torn between painting them black or Silver) **UPDATE** --> The Front Rotors finally showed up. Props to Dan @ United for getting them to me quickly! Decided the glossy black wouldnt look good on the rotor, so I sanded them up and used a Dupli-color hi-heat LOW GLOSS Black spray paint. Came out perfect, just enough of a matte finish. Here's some pics-->

I used Dupli-color Hi-heat engine paint..
it is a Gloss. Wasnt sure If i should have gone w/ a matte finish or the gloss. Now that you mention it, it may be a good idea to use a matte finish. Prob easier to keep looking clean. They do have the same paint in Matte. Maybe I'll pick up a can and re-spray the rears when I do the fronts.

I think I would have gone with a matt silver finish, but they still look good, and will stay that way much longer than they would have otherwise.
Great idea. |
