Thanks. Prep is key. It took me over an hour to clean each one. Every spec of dirt, grime, water... everything has to be removed.

Mine have been painted all summer with about 8,000-10,000 miles with no issues

Thanks. Here are the rear calipers. I haven't ordered the DBA slotted rotors for the rears yet.

I just did mine in Red this past weekend. I used a Ceramic based paint. The most important thing is getting the calipers clean. I used brake clean, a wire brush and scotch brite pad. It makes the car have a totally different look.

White car looks great, wheels and brakes are awesome but the stickers and scan block... not so much.
