Looks good. The whole rotor or just the hats? Hard to tell. Why, what's your plan and reasoning?

I'm a shallow guy. Only did it for looks! Hate the look of the flat grey OEM primer.

The color is the same as my wheels and tips (pictured earlier in the thread).

The design of my HRE's is very open and you see the rotor hats easily.

Just did the hats and the outer lip/vents.

None of the mating surfaces or rotor surface obviously.

The new finish will look better than the current primer. I know it's a small detail, but I'm all about the details. Can't help it.

Thats a fair price for quality work. That's about what I paid for my ceramic coated black tips.

Easy to remove and replace with the proper torx bit. Size E14. One on each side.

Thanks! Almost as nice as your pics!

Tips held on by one clamp. Special type of screw though (as stated above).

The price is fair, I had a bunch of other work done and paid less.

The 2 year brake fluid flush is due Jan 2016 on the 50th. Will wait until then to do the following at one time. Powder coat calipers and rotors in a new color (not a fan of red) and of course new brake fluid. George, your rotors came out great. T
