Just spent 4 hours today for another brake job on my GS. New EBC pads, new rotors, new paint job and stickers on claipers. I have done this brake job about every 15k miles. I'm professional on GS brakes now.

do u have to strip the paint first before paint the calipers? what kind of rotors are those i would like to pick up a set.

JacobT

Yes, I used power sander to strip down to metal before painting.It's from iRotors.com. $200 shipped so I don't even bother to re-surface the old rotors, just get another new set:

i just did my first supra tt conversion brake caliper paintjob and it wasn't as bad as i thought it would be...next time around i will sand them down all the way and use smaller stickers... what type of paint did you use??

JacobT

I used Dupli-color high temp. engine inamel black + clear coat.

pretty cool where can I get the smaller stickers and do they come off when the calibers heat up ?

are you serious you could easily turn rotors maybe twice before getting rid of them, unless you really warp those rotors.

EDIT: by the way could i use paint stripper compound and just use a pressure washer, i dont think i could trust myself with sanding it down.

JacobT

Just use some sand paper to rough the surface so the paint will stick. You will not get the shinning smooth finish like mine. I sanded down about 1/8" to get a perfect mirror surface to start with.

JacobT,
Looking good man. I feel so lame. I did my brakes weeks ago and I still don't have any pics!
D@mn not having a digital camera! I spent the camera money on mods!
