Title: Brand New Rotors --> Rust? Post by: Asim on June 13, 2009, 01:12:34 AM I just got some brand new rotors and pads
Front: Raysbestas Pads w/ Brembo Blanks Rear: Raysbestas Pads w/ Raysbestas rotor (the middle of this rotor is painted nice flat black) They are a week old and I have already noticed some rust on the middle of rotor (just like my oem one was). Is this normal? Title: Re: Brand New Rotors --> Rust? Post by: hondaguy214 on June 13, 2009, 01:19:59 AM yes this does happen occasionally. How has the weather been out? its just surface rust because its just plain metal no anti rust additives. are you talking about the area between the end of the pad and where it connects to the hub? because if it isn't touched by the pad. it will rust a little.

The area between the wheel and the rotor. It rained most of the last few days I was just surprised at how fast It happeend I guess! Title: Re: Brand New Rotors --> Rust?

Title: Re: Brand New Rotors --> Rust? Post by: hondaguy214 on June 13, 2009, 11:13:00 AM its a natural thing. I see it all the time at work. You have nothing to worry about.

Yeah, me and Jason (JC04accord) did this last Wednesday. The results are absolutely worth it. I wish I did this earlier! We used Rust-Oleum high heat spray: http://www.rustoleum.com/CBGProduct.asp?pid=112 (http://www.rustoleum.com/CBGProduct.asp?pid=112) (http://www.rustoleum.com/cbgimages/products/SPHhsBlkSpL.jpg) (http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3372/3617946624_5705b0d69b_o.jpg) Title: Re: Brand New Rotors --> Rust?

Title: Re: Brand New Rotors --> Rust? Post by: Mike on March 19, 2010, 08:19:16 AM Caliper paint does work but, its more expensive then the BBQ paint option.
