What can i clean this area with? like in case i get paint on it? is it a drama if i do get paint on it? is it a major drama if i get paint on any particular area?
Cheers
If you do get paint on it, use prepsol or some other alcohol free remover to get it off.
The breaks themselves will rid any of the paint you get on it though.

yeah - after the paint is dry go for a burn up teh road and hammer the brakes - the pads will wear off teh paint on the rotors no problems - just don't do it while the paint is still tacky or else the paint on teh rotors will heat and melt and bubble and look dodgy - ask blake

How about you mask up the disc before you paint? Just an idea ;)

Even if it IS lots of masking tape (use newspaper and masking tape)
It's better than removing paint from your discs.
The easiest way by far is to take the callipers off and spray them.
But take the time to prepare the surface properly (this inludes masking!!!)

why red ressurector/variel, whoever the hell u are now (man i hate ppl who change their names)
why red? everyone has red.
i was gonna do blue, but wasnt satisfied with a dark enough blue, but its always an option for later. atm im happy
