Care to give a quick tutorial on using the appliance enamel, as far as steps you took and how the finish ended up?

Good job on the paint cleanup! Thanks for the motivation.
Looks cool.
The wheel bearing should already be the larger style. Only thing different needed to change to vented rotors is the calipers. Rebuilts are pretty cheap.

Thanks! It's sometimes amazing what just cleaning up your old garbage can do. LOL Gotta make the best of it.
Thanks!!
I need to followup with some close up pictures. This car had something like brake fluid spilled on the roof and trunklid (i'm guessing vandalism), which caused a bunch of heavy checking, down to the primer. So I just made the best of it by wet sanding and waxing it anyway. There's also a ton of slight waves and dents, like some kids walked on the trunklid. Luckily, the white paint hides all of that very well. It's pretty ugly up close, but it looks great from across the street. I don't mind, because it's going to be parked outside and daily driven anyway.
Thanks for the info on the wheel bearings! It'll be a lot easier to just change the one bad wheel bearing, and upgrade the brakes later. You saved me a lot of time and a some money. And at that point, I will get rebuilt ones rather than used Picknpull like I was planning, which will probably result in better brakes. Much appreciated!
That said which rebuilds are worth buying? The parts store ones are well-known to use mismatched halves resulting in brakes that will never bleed properly...
