Really?! Sure seems like the first few miles would be dangerous, and as that paint melted at high temps it would cause problems. I have never seen this done before.

The rotors I used to purchase for my boxster always showed up like this... threw me initially too... also they tended to cook and smoke at first track session... can be unnerving, but as previously mentioned, no big deal
