Looks good...half done, half to go!

Are the rotors new, and if so, did you paint them or anything? If you haven't, and want to...I highly reccommend Eastwoods disc brake caliper and rotor paint. I used it on mine and was really impressed on how well it went on and how durable it feels.

You need to paint them or they will look just like your old ones very quickly. Like Jeff said try some of the Eastwood paint, it works great....

I masked off the braking surface area and the studs...and painted the rest. I did mine prior to assembly but you should still be able to do yours fairly easy even with it all assembled.
