TBH, it's not the end of the world if the friction surfaces were sprayed - it'll rub straight off when the car moves for the first time/first time the brakes are applied (though it might take a few seconds before they get full bite)

The friction area on rail vehicle discs come sprayed over (to protect them from corrosion in transit/storage).

(that's red paint, not rust...)

So you're saving that 5G headlights weigh the same as a train yes?

Good.

Glad we've clarified that.

Yea, I didn't bother masking the friction surface and just let them get covered by some over-spray while I was painting the centre section...

I've read some rants on line about not painting the friction surface- but that applies to people actually planning on power coating or using some other heavy duty paint/lacquer and really painting the entire dics.. that's not good.

The overspray was worn off after I bleed the brakes and had turned the brake discs by hand 2-3 times I have no worries

I've always wondered what these wheels would look like on a 5th gen, that does look nice.

There is still some progress slowly under-way, even though I'm not documenting it very well..
But I attended the local yearly Honda meet her in Denmark - and the little Lude got quite some attention - Here are some pictures of how it looked on that day

I'll make sure to do some writeups of the many small special changes and modifications soon

What did you do to the centre console (Top area bit) looks interesting..
