Is it a common practice, or even a sane practice to clear coat new rotors to keep iron from rusting? Saw someone do this and I need new rotors so...

WD40 works well.

QUOTE(URY914 @ Jan 16 2010, 07:37 PM)  WD40 works well. Agree! WD40 works well to protect the finish (applied when cool). Clear coating yellows quickly with heat. I wouldn't do it. Pat Addendum: Jeez, I just realized thet you are talking about rotors, not calipers! Pardon me for my stupidity! I painted my "top hats" with satin black, the inner edge of the disc (where pads do not touch) with silver, and the outer edges with silver. Seems to have lasted OK (15 years), but I don't superheat the discs from auto-x ing any more. When I said "WD40" is was meant for the calipers. Sorry for the confusion. Someone put me to pasture! |
