I believe you're describing the disc rotor itself, which is something you definitely don't want to paint. It would mess up the ability of the pads to grab, plus it would start to come off after a few stops anyway.

Rust and oxidation on the disc is completely normal, ugly as it is.

You could paint the caliper body as some owners do...

Is there a solution or spray or furmula that can get rust/oxidation off the rotor and still keep the functionality at top?
I mean, there has to something, i dont like it being bright orange, clashes with a black 2kmax

well since your brakes get hella hot, you should use engine paint. fire proof paint. if you don't then most likely it'll burn off after a few hours of driving. go to the maxima.org page. the "maxfaqs" it should help u alot. it has step by step instructions on how to paint the caliper. i suggest u take a cup (this will waste a whole lotta paint) and keep spraying inside it. now you have a cup of paint.. well not exactly a cup. then use a paint brush to apply the paint onto the brake caliper. it's a whole lot easier to control what gets painted and what not. less messy, less things to mask.

Roger U can put a condom on your wheel B4 U wash your tires . jokes aside. don't worry about the rust. its gonna happin regardless, when U drive the car it'll come off. it turns real rusty right after U wash the car b/c the car is sitting there and the air is hitting the hub so it turns rusty.
