oh well, looks like the first 2 pics have been removed.

the guy who has that golf with the steel wheels and hubcaps painted his PADS and ROTORS silver. actually took it all apart to paint them...

I painted my hubs, had to mask the entire rotor surface - but it turned out nicely. You can see it in the pics I posted in that previous thread.

It took one can of VHT caliper paint to do the front, with plenty of coats. It might take two to do both front and back.
