Backing Plates

Backing Plates
Has anyone painted or replaced their backing plates behind the rotors? Mine are pitted and rusty in a few places from the wet Winter. They are cheap enough to replace at $19 each vs. sanding and painting. Just curious if I am the only one that does not like rust

I hate rust, luckly I now live in an area that doesn't get snow hardly ever so I don't have the problems that they do elsewhere (plus I've got the jeep for bad weather). Shoot, for $19 each I'd buy new ones if it bugs you, or try and paint them and it doens't hold up then replace them!

Momentum Keeps Me Going
When I did the G2 paint on the hubs and calipers, I silver G2ed the visible backing plate area as well. The epoxy paint looks as good now as it did 18 mos ago. If your replacing them, it would be easy to do a good paint job on them so they'd stay nice longer.
