i painted my rotors with 3 coats of primer, and im planning on putting another 3 coats of paint.. but the paint says it takes seven days to fully cure. its high temp engine paint.

my issue is i want to throw the rotors on and i dont want to wait 7 days to put a clear coat on. should i wait? or will i be good?

 

... if instructions say to wait, i'd wait.

 

I remember back in my Honda days, many years ago, I painted my calipers and drums red. I was anxious to show them off when I finished and drove on them prematurely. I was left with red paint splatter inside of my rear wheel barrels. Just saying.

 

I would get different paint , actually I can't see a reason to paint rotors

 

ill look for different paint. with my rays eng rims you can see the sides of the rotor, sides of the hat? thats why im painting them. the paint is dark grey, nothing that will be noticeable

 

Got pics? Why not just grab some nice drill slotted ones and not touch them?

 

I used exhaust system paint on my 300ZX. I let it dry for 5 mins. It's been two years and there's no sign of rust.

 

well im done.. i didnt use high temp paint.. but who really gives a **** about rotor paint anyways right.. haha.

I got them cheap off this site, thats why i didnt buy new ones.

 

just fyi for next time...this process does a great job and doesnt require days of waiting...

also, you can use the rust converter stuff in the holes and slots of the rotors you bought...as i can see they are rusted big time....the hats look good..i hope the paint holds up..it should.
