so i ordered a set of 4 brembo blanks a couple of days ago. they should be here next week.

i was reading reviews of the brembo rotors and a number of the consumers mentioned that they were upset at how quickly the rotors got a layer of rust on them.

i realize i can get galvanized or plated rotors, and that would eliminate the problem, but that kind of cost increase is not in my budget.

is there a cheap way to condition the rotors before i put them on to prevent or slow this?
is there a spray or should i cover them in something before installing?

 

High temp paint on the hub area seems to be a favorite in the 6th gen forum. They buy it pre-painted from rotorpros.com, but I don't see why you can't paint them yourself.

 

yep hi- temp paint will work

cheap too

 

paint the rotors?

wont the pads take the paint off?

do you mean a clear coating?

and where would i get high temp paint?

doesnt sound like the kind of thing home depot is stocking.

 

you want to paint the areas the pad wont sweep... like the hubs, front and back... and the edges and the vanes...

you can get the paint at any auto store like pepboys or anything of the sort

 

so just spray this sh*t on and voila?

should i tape off the area the pads are grabbing to make sure i dont get paint there, or does it not matter?

 

This topic is so far from advanced its not even funny. Please don't post crap like this in the advanced forums again.
