Default G2 Blue Paint w/ Rotora pads/Rotors and GFX stickers

Prep work and patience is key here with the brush paint. I used brake cleaner and a wire brush. I recommend to get two brushes for the second coat. You can definately tell the difference between 1st and 2nd coat.

When waiting for paint to dry. Heres the chance to wash the inside and detail the wheel and tires.

They are Rotora rotors and pads. Definately better than oem pads and rotors. Im planning on doing the back ones after my vegas trip. Rotora is restructuring so it took awhile to get them. I ordered them from AssaulTech, a vendor here. They are usually pretty good at shipping, but it did take longer than I'd hope.

Looks very nice, this is one of the best looking most detailed brush on paint jobs I've seen here.

As others have said one of the stickers is backwards. Most brakes have the branding with the bottom of the letters to the center of the wheel.

I can't believe that after all that work you end up putting the sticker in one of the calipers the wrong way.
Wow........
