I'm not really seeing painted rotors. But, then again, why do it? They just get ground down by the pads anyways, right?

Try it and let me know how it turns out.


By the way... he painted just the hubs. They were probably really rusty and now he sanded them down and painted them black. You can cause serious damage if paint gets on the rotor itself.

I have been curious as to why people paint their brake pads?
Other than that one little "mistake" they look great.

Was actually wondering that myself. I suppose it is faster/easier. I don't like the look of the painted pads, but otherwise I really like the red on black look. Good job!
