Default Wheel/Rotor/Caliper Project Completed

Over the last two months I set out on a project to change pads, rotors and paint calipers. After project was complete with ceramic pads I then removed 2 piece Sepang Rims, separated the pieces and had the rims powder coated "Porsche Silver" with a gloss clearcoat.

They turned out much better than new with a more durable finish, so far very pleased.

Nice job, she looks really nice.. I would think the R badges would be up to the job - just depends on the grade of tape they've used on the back!

Where did you get your rotors from?

I'm lovin this, looks like a top job!

The finish on the calipers looks great, rotors look good too and the wheels look fantastic.

If I was being picky?
The only downside I can see after a 2 month project is not enough of a write up and too few pics to show it all off.

Well done

Thanks for sharing....

Hello! What paint did you use on the calipers and where did you get the "R" badges?

Thanks
Rob
