We used a red/orange primer after we wet sanded the whole thing, then we did about 4-5 coats of gloss black paint.

I just joined the club yesterday....I'll take pics today to show you

EDIT: Here they are.....


They are painted flat black.





Now I need to change the color of the calipers because they stand out too much.

The caps didn't want the paint to stick plus I think it looks better with them stock color.
