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...

Just paint on the top and side of the hub on the rotor. The area that the pad touches.. no paint. Will last a long time and keep them from looking like crap if you prep the surface and use a decent high temp paint. There's an article in my local pca, on tips on how to do it if they are already mounted. Let me know if you need the link. Basically just mask off the area that will have the surface contact with the pads. Easy if they are off.

I'm doing the 5 lug change over so everything is off the car which would make it alot easier. Kev |
