C5 Front/LS1 Rears...Master Cylinder??

When you paint the rotors like that, does it scrub off pretty quickly after you use your brakes? Or are you painting them, and then having them turned?

Funny that you mention that. I did the paint trick on my 98 Cobra and it worked fine. However; this time on my Camaro I wound up locking up my front pads to the rotors because of the paint. You can get away with a little overspray on the rotor surface where the pads contact but don't put too much on.

I guess I'll just try to mask them off. Good to know though, I won't try to worry to much about getting the masking perfect.

Im using all C5 on my 68 camaro, front and rear rotors and calipers and booster and master cylinder. Only thing stock are the hard brake lines. Works amazing, here is my write up:

FWIW painting the mounting surfaces of rotors can give enough thickenss variation to change runout. I had painted some with thin high temp paint like that and when we went to turn them for a fresh surface they wobbled slightly on the brake lathe until we sanded off the paint on the mounting surface.Then it was true again.

On an '83 Malibu we just finished, I used C5 calipers on the front and LS1 rear (late 4th gen F-body), and used the original Malibu quick-take-up master cylinder (per tobin's recommendation) and booster, with an adjustable valve. Worked great.
