Nah i wasn't keen on the sanding idea (too lazy). I've painted brakes using VHT before, and noticed a nice finish can be achieved depending on how you spray them, so mine ended up pretty smooth. Again- not immaculate, but pretty good.
I used Killrust, and I hand painted them to get a better finish. No spray cans here.
Killrust is self priming so nothing needed other than do a coat and let it dry, then do the next one. Although generally a lighter coat with the first one is recommended.
now I'm seeing where this 3-4 days is adding up. thats dedication. I didn't even think of hand painting them. At least you wouldn't have to mask up!
Mine are black though so the texture isn't very noticeable
