Looks good.

Something I REALLLLLLLLLY need to finally get done, but I haven't...

And isn't that rotor, not wheel hub?

Well I'm not sure the technical name for it but its the part your wheel is mounted to, definatly didn't paint the rotor though.

A rotor has to attach to the wheels also :P so it has that center piece. Still considered the Rotor.



You painted where that rotor is painted. It's a good idea to prevent the rust from forming there.

Yes you are right. I didn't realize the part where the bolts come through was part of the rotor.

If you take the rotor off, you expose the Wheel Hub Assembly.



It's fun to learn everything to learn about cars. Glad it worked well for you. How did you go about painting that? Did you take it all apart, or just mask everything off??
It came out very nice.

My father is good at this stuff so he helped. We didn't take anything apart, just cleaned everything well and bought some fine brushes with the black and fire red paint the guy in the shop suggested. This paint took about 6 hours to fully dry though. I was suprised how well it turned out.

Your calipers and rotors turned out great. I might paint that part of the rotor when I replace them - real soon, especially the rear ones.
