Okay, gotta say that's the best belly laugh I've had in a while... Gota911? Geez, I "Gotta Get Out More!"

Thanks Tim.... All in good fun.

Van,

I can see them. They were uploaded to the post and not hosted on a linked site so they should appear.

Today I can see them... must have been an "internet thing"...

Orient Express

When I do my spring cleaning on my 996, I clean off the rotor hats, and then just hit them with some fresh primer grey. Here is a picture that shows that. I don't worry about masking the rotor face, just the caliper and center hub.

First time you drive the car, the pads will clean off the overspray on the rotors.

Is there anywhere on your car that has any dirt on it?

Orient Express

Not that we know of!

Van

What?!? You use spray paint near the car? I won't spray paint anything within 100 feet of the cars.

Wow your fender well looks clean. What's your secret? Also, do you clean the underside of your engine, and if so, what do you use? I still have some Cosmoline on mine.

Yeah I would spend so so much time taping and masking before convincing myself I could spray near the car. I would probably do this (mine still haven't rusted) right before a compounding and polish, but I'm a wuss about spray paint near the car too.

I don't think anyone here hits the underside harder than Orient Express! The whole underbody is immaculate, truly a sight to behold.

The underside of my car looks like....the underside of a car.

When I got my car the rotor hats were all rusty. I cleaned them up with a wire brush on a drill then used a product called Target Cold Galvanizing Compound (made by Releaseall). You can get it as a spray but I have a quart of it so I just brushed it on. It's kind of a flat medium gray colour. It still looks good after a year including some winter driving.
