Went to my Uncle's garage in Jersey City to do some major suspension changes. Recently had my rotors changed, but did not change the brake pads. Wound up changing out the front driver side studs due to a incompetent worker at a shop, painted my calipers, and changed my brake pads. Total cost was $300 flat. I did all the work, except changing the studs. Took roughly 4 hours to do the job, but got the job done.

Brushed the calipers with a steel brush, applied two coats of high temp primer, and then 3 coats of high gloss black. Came out pretty good, better than I had expected.

Next were the studs while the calipers were hung to be dried. Took me a good 10 minutes to knock the old ones out with a hammer, and put the new ones in took me a good 15 minutes since they were being stubborn lol

Spent overall 4 hours in the shop today, so I had a lot done today.


Would anyone know how to remove overspray from rotors? I think some got on the passenger side in the front, and now it's making my car vibrate like hell...

 

I would use a angle grinder with a light abrasive pad... You could recreate the cross hatch that rotors should have at the same time...

What's a cross hatch?
