Not the working surface only the smooth and rounded edge towards the hub. |

I don't know Ric. If you want the disks to crack apart at the paint line due to the painted surface's inability to shed heat and to destroy the pads it's not such a bad idea... |

Fixing rust on the non-contact part of the brake rotors ?!?! That's a little too picky isn't it? Kinda like remove every little rock and stone from the tire treads.... |

I'm confused, are you painting the "working" surface (the flat part)? If so, stop it. The rotors should be clean and free of any foreign material, including paint. |

My 2001 360 never has been wet on the roads but in the washing process the light blue powder coating on the rotors has rusted in several spots. I used very light sand paper and purchased Ace Hardware Gas grill black paint that can withstand high temperatures and painted them. I covered the calipers and sprayed several coats on between drying time. After 100 miles or so the brake pads scrape off the extra paint on the rotors and leave a very thin black strip on the edge. The unused part of the rotor towards the hub is black and looks great. |
