WTF you didn't even mask off the rotor? Or am I blind?

Rich · 08-10-2006, 11:37 PM

^x2

and ive never been a fan of drums being painted.

Holy overspray Bartman. WTF were you thinking?

Sprucegagt · 08-11-2006, 12:13 AM

Most of the overspray on the rotor will come off after using the brakes a couple times. The rest he'll have to live with.

SikMindz · 08-11-2006, 12:17 AM

Obviously...but then he's got everything else to worry about. That was just lazy gobraves...

Sprucegagt · 08-11-2006, 12:27 AM

Agreed

coupe · 08-11-2006, 06:07 AM

That was just total lazyness. Sure the paint will come off the rotors but only where the pad touches. The rest will still be there and still be easy to see when you look through the rim. It will look like a hack job.

What did you paint the wells with? I hope it wasnt just plain old black spray paint. It will peel in no time and you will have a hell of a mess.

I think he changed the rotors out and didnt care about the old one.?!

pyro · 08-11-2006, 07:04 AM

no, in the last pic you can still see its on there. how the hell much paint did you put on? looks like you painted some cottage cheese on there mang.

freakydeaky · 08-11-2006, 08:17 AM

MASKING TAPE....... damn, i would have stuck with the rusted look versus doing a half ass job.... all i can do is
