Drilled & Slotted rotors installed, also Painted wheels and caliper (Many Pics)

Sup everyone.... hmm how do i start lol
well i got my wheels and calipers painted, also got my rotors installed so i would like to share the pics i took during the process with my MCF buds :D
keep in mind, i know little to nothing about painting things :p haha
I really like the way it looks now :) let me know what u guys think :thumbsup:

This was how my monte looked like before i started, had just washed it so it was somewhat clean :p

Up on stands with the wheels off for cleaning :)

ready for a good wash, wheels aren't in the best shape, so that's why i decide to paint them :o

AHHH nice and clean

masked off and ready for primer :D

I used filler primer because of the imperfections the wheels had, didnt really sand em down or prepped them much because im pretty sure i wont have the wheels for long lol

After 3 light coats of paint, oh and i used GRAPHITE (color) for the paint, didnt clear coat them because i didnt want too much of the glossy look :p
