THE elongated part (hub) near where the stud`s are and the top outside edge any thing the pads dont touch.

Yes it does depending on you mags.... It just makes it look better because they start to rust and look crap so you sand them back clean em up and spray em, i also sprayed the back plate behind the rotor black just makes things stand out more, and whatever colour you spray the caliper looks heaps better cause its got black parts around it, not rusty bits.

I've just done mine, they came up a treat.

I originally didn't do the bracket, but I ended up taking them off and doing them too. I didn't bother painting the rotor, simply because I'm about to get some new slotted rotors, then I may paint them black.

This is probably the cheapest bang for your buck mod you can do.

firstly, there is no bang, just money spent.

secondly, your car has dents in it, and the tacky red paint is just drawing peoples attention to that area of the car!

Ok thank you for your input. My car was the victim of a hail storm. Hence the dents. Now with every panel replaced and a full respray, she looks brand new.
