Happy with how this paint color turned out, polishing these would have been just too labor intensive

First setback i would say, i painted the front diff covers with the metallic paint and a clear coat. When i pulled off the masking tape on the small cover it peeled the clear coat off like a dead skin sunburn. Now i worry about all the other pieces i did this too, accessory brackets, MAF housing, oil filter housing. I feel if i dont strip all the clear cost of the others it will peel just as easily. Mostly a time and labor mistake, paint isnt too expensive

You can see all the streaks as the clear coat peeled off.

The other half came out beautiful though

Front brake rotors came in, not impressed. Will return for something else. I wanted just a slotted rotor, these have a geomet coating vs being zing plated. They didnt even coat the back of the rotor and the front surface rubbed off just from being in the box

Weird. I thought EBC brakes was a good brand?

For $200 i thought so too

At least you had the foresight to return them immediately after taking them out of the box. I went ahead and used them on my Suburban and a few months later they were warped so bad my pedal was pulsing significantly on stops. Not a fan of EBC rotors, or anything else they offer for that matter.

There's info in this thread on why a $20 set of Raybestos pads will probably stop you faster than a $200 set of EBC Yellows.

EBC Yellowstuff Brake Pads - Worth It?

As the title states, I'm curious if anyone here has experience with the EBC Yellowstuff pads on their trucks. I'm gathering parts to refresh the front and rear brakes on my '97 K1500 Suburban (JB6) and I'm seriously thinking about trying the EBC Yellowstuff pads on the front. These DP41273R...

There's no reason for drilled or slotted rotors these days. Back in the day pads outgassed when hot, reducing your braking power. Modern pad compounds don't have that problem. Drilled and slotted rotors tend to crack and need regular inspection. Solid vented rotors just work.

i couldnt find any zinc plated that were solid, and in hindsight wont get the coated kind based on what i just ordered. i didnt really care if it was slotted, just didnt want drilled. baer and power stop were the only options i could find, and both are drilled and slotted. i just hate rust look on anything

First coat on, really wish I could do whole frame at once, this will have to do for now
