Hah! I was waiting on someone to notice that. Those were on the car when I bought it. The PSS's in front are old and worn, while the all seasons on the rear are fairly new. Have to assume that the rears got torched and the previous owner got sticker shock at the cost of putting another pair of PSS's on.Originally Posted by Vas

Looks great. Can you describe the prep process for this application?
Thank you in advance.

This is awesome! I am planning to do this on my brakes in the near future. Torn between gloss black and silver...

Yep! Working on getting a square set to go on the 18x9's that are sitting in the garage.
Yeah it freaking sucks. The brake cleaner that came with the kit evaporates away in about 10 seconds, so it's kind of useless except for a final wipedown. I ended up hammering the calipers from every angle with my army of stainless wire brushes:
I figured out a trick way too late in the process that made things a lot easier:
This allows you to control the speed with one hand while you use your strong hand to hold the angle adapter right at the wire wheel. It's 10x easier to control a spinny brush this way.
If I had to do it again, I would totally half ass the prep work. The epoxy adheres enough to just paint over caked on brake dust.
Definitely want to leave yourself about a 5-6 hour window for painting, though. Spend 15 minutes brushing on a light coat, go do something else for 45 minutes, repeat.
I couldn't decide between those two either. Went with the black thinking that it would match the trim and be different, but not boy-racer-ey. I wasn't about to paint stock 330 calipers some crazy color like they're anything special.
