Re: Painting rotors to prevent rusting. 700 88

Hi Rene;

It's easy don't paint them, The salt simply gets behind it and starts to

work off the paint, My best results painting all rotors were as follows

sand blast the entire surface, clean them with brake cleaner then 2 light

coats of High temp primer (red oxide) Then find the highest temp arosol

you can find and coat lightly at least 3 coats,when fully dry have them

turned . I've also done my calipers this way,but I had the rebuild shop

strip and blast them, then I painted and retuned them for finishing.

Rotors looked ok for two winters of TORONTO north Driving then they

looked crappy after that,Calipers held out much longer !

In retrospect I would not do it Again !!It's a lot of "F'n Work !

I replaced the rotors, with 4 Cross Drilled CADNIUM PLATED Units from

KVR out of OTTAWA had them in 3 days and they've held up nicely and

the gold colour does not chip or peel, and if your on a budget or just plain cheap, it still came to my door for less than Volvo O.E. stuff.

Fronts were Brembo and rears were Eurorotor.

So it's easy don't paint them.
