yeah that looks pretty good. if he did some cleaning with simple green beforehand and applied a few more coats of clear afterwards it think it would have turned out better ---

haha, I did that on my last car but immediately changed the brake pads and rotors a week after, it came out looking amazing though. Duplicolor ceramic brake paint FTW! ---

Honestly there’s really not that much wrong with that. the paint on the friction surfaces will burn off with the first application of the brakes. ---

I heard if you double the coats of paint it doubles the temperature durability. ---

Tape and mask off all the rubber lines, struts, mounting bolts and bleeders, wire brush and brake clean until clean then spray. Take it easy for the first few stops around the neighborhood, and replace pads/rotors. Whats not to be serious about? Came out awesome. ---
