Talking ANYONE can do this

Finally got around to doing mine this weekend...believe me, if I can do it, ANYONE can do it

Before:


De-greased (used 409, steel wool and a toothbrush):


Sanded (400 grit wet-sand)until I couldn't feel any bumps from old clear coat:


Interesting...didn't realize that OEM were Brembos :


Primed (Dupli-Color high heat primer):


Painted (Dupli-Color high heat enamel):


Finished:


Close-up of the decals (off ebay, 6 decals for $9):
