Rusty Rotors
I bought a set of Brady D/S rotors fr cheap and got what I paid for, unfortunately. They are kinda rust down by where the wheel bolts up. Does anyone know of a fix for this? Rustoleum? F

for future refence you should buy zinc plated ones which dont rust. They're only a few dollars more.

Best solution would be sanding and spraying high temp paint as said above.

my work sells these rotors actually and we don't zinc coat any of our rotors unless the customer wants it. Zinc coating brake rotors will lessen the friction between the rotors and pads, therefore the braking performance will decrease also. Some say this is not true, but I've tried both kinds on my SC and to tell you the truth, I really do believe that the non zinc coated seems to grip way better.

haha.. yea, but the parts of the rotors that the pads don't touch will still be rusted.. there's actually a spray you can get at home depot for about 1.99 that can prevent metals from rusting..

reviving old thread...lol
So this anti-rust spray...will it affect the performance of the rotors at all? I'd like ot prevent rusting (if possible) rather than sanding and painting later...
