Thanks everyone!

I was noting that several people where checking out my wheels on the way into work this morning. it is always nice to know that your work is being noticed! Will have to keep an eye on them to see how this new look holds up.

Now I am wishing I would have had the time to cross drill the rotors as long as I had them off, but didn't have the time right now to knock out a program and fixture for the CNC milling machine. That will have to be round two!

Thanks again guys... and I sure appreciated your tip on masking off the rotor using that contact paper Millerrdjr. It worked fantastic!

Looks Super.. Very Fine job !!! Thanks for posting the pics !!!!

I been painting behind my wheels for many years.. Next is my Panel, & then My OLs' Dodge Avenger SXT..

Only diff will be that I use Eastwoods engine paint, quart size. It's latest ceramic-heat paint & offers heat protection to 650*.. So this is supposed to be better & flow out like the paint you've used..

I have never had a problem with the regular 500* engine paint on my calipers & drums they had before..

Where is everyone getting those decals? are they heat resistant? Do they last?
