Thanks all.Brake rotors are the Zimmermann Coat Z Cross-Drilled,Pads Textar and Oem senors.Everything fit on with no problems.Price came out to just under $560.00Canadian + shipping to Canada from Pelican parts.Dealership here charge close to $1,500 for fronts.Drive's really nice now.Old fronts lasted me almost 8 years since i bought car.You can work the clutch/gas and brake smoothly with out much effort heal/toe like a race car action.Just drives so much easier in traffic,if that make sense,just less effort .Painting was a ******************** using the brush on Dupli-Color paint kit.I think it was a bit to cold still here in Canada to dry.Had to wet sand twice +repaint to look some what factory and still not looking in real life the best.Thinking sanding/repaint again in some area's.Cleaned up/washed the wheel wells/ under body too while up on jack stands.

It's a decal. you can get them from Ebay.

That's a very nice job indeed for a brush-on finish. I sprayed mine with VHT. Four coats of paint, applied the decals, and then two coats of clear. I was quite pleased with the result.

I need to know exactly what paint you used. I'm looking to do mine in the next week or so and those look very pretty.

If you don't mind, perhaps you give a basic step-by-step process for painting them unless it's already on the board somewhere. I'm no Michelangelo.
