Awesome look! Don't just paint the calipers, paint the hats/hubs of those rotors!!! You have no rust on them, a little prep and you're all set!!! I just painted the hats of the rotors I hope to throw on the Monte tomorrow!!

Again, awesome rims!! They blend well with the car, so well, you'd almost think those could have been factory. BTW - Aren't those the same rims Purple Passion has??

I guess I havent seen purple passions car? lol The rear rotors are the only thing that werent replaced and my mechanic loves the car so much he took them off and cleaned them up so there was no rust on them they look brand new! Best part is when he was telling me about cleaning them up and how long it took him, while he was telling me he stops in mid sentance and goes ohh don't worry I didn't charge for that I just did it because it looks better

I see you found the member's name who has Purple Passion (I could not remember his exact ID, but I remembered the car).

As for the clean up on the rotors, you should either paint or clear coat with a high temp paint (I used caliper paint on my rotor hats). Otherwise, they will re-rust and look bad fast. Just my opinion.

I've never done it but hey I'll for sure give it a try if it'll help thanks for the suggestion! and yeah I started to think by the way it sounded that it was 77GPs car and I looked and found it lol
