I need to coat a set of front OE replacement rotors with some anti-corrosion paint. I assume it must be high temp. The rotor is steal. The area to coat is around the hub, NOT the area that the pad touches. I have a set on now that work great but for some reason the Euro parts company coat their rear discs but not the front?? Why, I have no idea since they know they will show through the rim. So now it looks like the center hub area is bronze/gold.

Any good primers to go with? My rear discs appear to be primed at the factory with battleship grey.

Thanx.

 

I used Rustoleum Gloss Black enamel. No muss/no fuss. Just brush it on.

Did not use a high heat paint because if the rotors get hot enough to burn this paint they are toast anyway.

I've got 2 years service so far and they look good. Prep was minimul as I did it when the rotors were new.


P.S. Paint the calipers if you have to but keep them wheel or body color. Red is soooooo California (look at me) IMO.

 

I did this on my Porsche, I was quite happy with how it turned out.

I basically cleaned the items, real well (degreased them)

Then I used high heat (500 degree) primer then I used some caliper paint. Note that booth paints have ceramic..









Prep is 90% of all painting, so as long as you get that part right you should be fine.. best of luck and post before and after shoots of your project..

Maybe you should edit your location to Soooooooo Cal.
