The morning I spent doing some attention to detail. Re-painted calipers and then hit up the rotors(which are only 8 months old but had a nice rust color to them) The new wheels show more behind so I couldn't let that be. Seeing how I had ambition today...I then spent 4 hours detailing it including clay bar,seal,wax, and rain-x. It is pouring out so no pics til the weather breaks...but here is the wheel detail anyway...

Did you tape the rotors up or spray the whole thing and how'd you do the calipers?

This time around I was a little lazy when it came to the calipers anyways. I just used plastic bags like from walmart to cover the rotor and sprayed the caliper(s). I didn't tape off the parts of the brake pads that show show the calipers like I did last time though. It still looks good. Maybe when I do a brake job next time I will completely remove the calipers and spray them.
As for the rotors-kinda the same thing but reversed. Cover the calipers after they are dry and spray the rotors. I did the fins and the hubs by the lugs. Don't worry about overspray on the rotor face-a few good stops and it is all gone. Just remember to hit up the rotors and calipers with brake cleaner first to remove all the dust so the paint sticks better...

Sounds good I'll probably do this when it warms up a bit
