No, i see missed spots, as well. Use a good spray on wheel cleaner, and don't get any water on the car.

LOL you must think I am really stupid that I don't use a good spray cleaner. I do but you know when your taking rims on and off your hands get dirty, therefore when you touch rims again to put them back on they might get dirty. Maybe that will help ya! :bstooges:

The painted calipers look nice. The rotors look like they need to be replaced. :wink:

We need a blow by blow description of painting the calipers. They came out nice and I'd like to do mine.

hey looks very nice I like the color 2, the only thing I could suggest is to remove the old rust around the calipers and the brake system and the wheel, and maybe sand that caliper over so it looks smooth I can still see some bumps and tiny dots on the caliber. anyways nice job :)

The bumps you see are the numbers on the calipers.
