So everything finally arrived and after waiting for the garage to cool down I painted my rotor "hat's" and my calipers. All in all it was pretty easy, as long as you take your time and get everything you're painting clean and sanded. I think they turned out great, let me know what you think:

Sort of hard to see what I did in these pics but I'll take better ones later. If I could do it all over again I would have waited until the weather was a bit cooler and in the recommended temp range. Once you mix the paint with the hardner it really doesn't take long for it to get thick, and you have to keep mixing it often to keep it from setting up in the can and on the brush. I used the brush on kit from G2, which I ordered from Stage 3 (shipping was quick and thank you to them). On the rotor hats I used the spray on by Duplicolor. I painted over the entire caliper, including the COBRA letters, and waited till this morning to remove the paint from them with an exacto knife. It really worked well and the paint came right off, leaving the clean letters behind.
And lastly I'm really happy with the look of the FR500's- way better than the blingy wheels I had before. :woot2:
