I used barbeque paint on my rotors looks much better than beforeAttachment 331992after try it if you have stock rotors just spray over rust

 

Amazing, just simply amazing. Did you at least sand off the rust before painting???


Amazing, just simply amazing, beauty eh

 

Wait. You painted your rotars or rotors? Because that would be dangerous and stupid.

 

this paint is good for rust and i just cleaned them first and i only painted the part away from the pads touch. There is a ridge that i painted on. The new 370z do this now i just copied them

 

Doh!

 

Oh em Gee

 

Wait, did you actually put paint on the rotor surface?

 

If the rotor surface was painted, the paint would be removed with the first application of the brakes. It would not be a big deal.

 

I did a thread some time ago about painting new brake rotors. Helps prevent corrosion.

 

wow so nice im doing the front next before i put them on just like that

 

I gotta be honest.

I did something like this too. Sanded the hub and masked off the rotors with tape and a cardboard cutout.

Then I used high temp header paint....

 

Why not just get zinc plated rotors to start with? My rotors don't have rust at all

 

ding-ding-ding!

 

Great solution! Rather than pay $10 to coat a set of perfectly functional rotors, just pay $500 for a new set :high five!:

 

You could always just have the hub powder coated. Would last ALOT longer than paint, even the hi-temp paint.

 

the price of powder coating is expensive even for small things. hope it last a while

 

Not always but I wouldn't recommend powder so much as I would high temp paint.. also there's no issues behind painting the rotors.. the pads will remove any over spray from the rotors themselves.. we've actually sand blasted rust off and painted a few sets already.. looks much better than a conventional zinc coating

 

This is not always true. I powder coat items for members of several forums I am a member of. I guess its who you know. Some shops can be expensive, but its still worth it as far as durability. Most of the cost with powder coating is prepping/CLEANING the part to be coated. I remove ALL rust/paint/oil/grime/etc. down to bare metal, clean with acetone, then pre heat part to out gas any contaminants, clean the newly surfaced out gassed contaminates, and finally coat the part. If you are worried about cost, simply have more small items coated the same color at the same time. Cost waaay less that way because your not changing powders and risking cross contamination, and the time to coat multiple items isnt much more than 1 item.

 

^ +1 we do our own powder coating and prep is definitely the most time consuming part.. spraying is fairly simple so long as only a single color is involved

 

i did that 2 years ago and mine still are fine. no rust, no peeling or flaky paint either.
