but i cant figure out how to keep the paint on there..

it keeps peeling off in this one circle area... it says brake paint.. and its suppost to take the high temp....

do you think i need to clear coat it first?

 

Your not suppose to paint the rotor and the pads!!! Just the caliper

I painted my calipers and brake drums red also...im pretty sure you do NOT paint the rotor

Have you tried driving on them yet?

 

Ha, ha, Mr. Dude, you're killin' me!

well now i am confused whether or not this was a joke if so i feel dumb lol

 

lol, yea... it somewhat is..


dont feel dumb though... there are alot of stupid people out there... for all you knew i was/am one of them...

normally i dont post stuff like this since its a tech board, but i thought this was a great example of what NOT to do.




on a side note, i do actually paint my rotors... i mask off the friction surface carefully and paint the hub part.... just because the rust that forms there bothers me.

 

i did that also, painted the hub and the cooling fins on the inside of the rotor cause that bothers me, especially since i paid a pretty penny for the rotors

 

lol holy crap, I just about bashed my head on something when I saw that, then I figured it was just a joke... is that an actual picture though or a Photoshop?

 

actual picture.


when a friend showed it to me, he already had the word "OWNED" on it... i PAINT shopped it out as best i could, but at work, i only have MS paint.

you can still see it if you look... its across the top.

 

I remember seeing the original post of that on some website like a month ago ...Very funny stuff.

 

sweet! I love the red on the rotor, it should look good behind the wheel.

 

If you want the best performance from your brakes I would refrain from painting the cooling vanes inside the rotors...most if not all paints exibit insulating characteristics to some degree, and will reduce the heat capacity of your rotor.

Then again, if your not trying to stop from 100mph quickely or don't work your brakes hard, it won't matter.

 

OK,Ok, I know it was a joke, and NO I wouldn't do this, but hear me out. Would it actually be that bad? The paint on the rotor would wear off instantly right? Leaving the rest all red, correct?

Take this with a grain of salt folks!

 

my guess would be... youd probly glaze the pads a bit.... and depending how you did it, you could have ALOT of smoke pouring out....

 

AAHHH HAHA I busted out when i looked at the picture...i can undertand how the paint would come off in a circle!!! HAHA

 

hahahahhaha stopping=smelling like ***

 

MrDude, you rule. Enjoying the coil?

 

it works, theres not a whole lot more to say then that...

the motor has some other problems that are preventing me from taking it down the strip... but the 400 shall be in, in a couple weeks, so its all great
