Rust on new Z1 rotors

Hotrodz · 07-24-2017, 08:19 AM

Mine is covered in brake dust and it looks like it is painted a dark gun metal.

Could get a set of rotor caps and get some visual aspects at the same time:

Op, nothing you can do except get a rust-free rotor on your next set of rotors. Not worth worrying about since it's just a cosmetic issue.

I am running StopTech rotors on my Z which have a rust free coating, DBA and EBC both make rust-free versions as well

should have done this before installing. Using blue painter tape, cover the breaking area. use naval jelly to remove the rust using steel wool. once the rust is gone clean the jelly off with a petroleum solvent and dry off the bear metal. Now choose a rustolium paint of you color choice and apply two coats. That should keep the rust from coming back.
