Default disk convertion or paint first?

ive been going back and for on this question in my head do i get the brakes in the next month or just save that money for my paint and after get my breaks. i was planning on getting my paint done in spring, but if i get my brakes it will push it back a month the only reason i think i should get breaks is because im upping the horsepower and suspension and tire combo and was kinda thinking the old single master brake cylinder is looking a bit weak and "unsafe" as my mom thinks. i was just wondering if it is really that back and you all the best ppl to go to
thanks Kurtis

do the brakes first.....they're more important and it's better to do the work before you get some nice paint on there

That depends really, if your paint is chipped and cracked so bad that your sheet metal is rusting, I'd do that first. But if it's only for aesthetic reasons, I'd definately do a brake swap.

That new paint will rub off on the tree you wrap it around because your brakes failed.

get the guts done first.....(brakes...mechanicals)

just like internal injuries are usually mroe important to fix first before external ones....unless of course your squirting blood or something....same thing applies to the car...if the body is going to be rusting...get it done first...but if not....get the brakes done...
