I finally addressed the ugly rust look on my rotors a few weeks ago. It was simple, cheap and turned out great. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
You guys have too much time on your hands. Come to my house, waste your time, and help me pull the F'ing%^&#$>? tranny from my racecar.
It does look great, but come on, really? I have a clutch job coming tomorrow on the M3. The brake light switch needs to be replaced. The seat belt receptable that throws the airbag light and disables the airbag function needs to be replaced so that I get airbag protection in case of an accident. The coolant sensor needs to be replaced. Then ... The seat back on the 328 need to be tightened up. The window on the 348 still needs troubleshooting. Still waiting for a new tire on the rear for the 348. The Lexus needs an oil change right after the Thanksgiving trip. Two friends have asked for help on bleeding and changing brake fluids. There is no time to paint the rusty rotors on my cars, I am afraid.
Nice. I did the same thing on my NSX and it looked great. The only issue I had was the paint would not hold on the surface where the wheel mounted. This may not be visible on a 348. I thought about powder coating but never got around to it.
Yes you are probably right about to much time on my hands...just completed detailing my tubi outlets Image Unavailable, Please Login
wow. In the time you spent with maskasauras maximus you could have, well, TAKEN THE ROTORS OFF THE CAR. Takes seconds once the car is up. And JACK STANDS are way safer.
Love the car, love the rotors, love the floor, love the jack.... LOL Amazing. Do you make House Calls?
The Must for Rust is it safe for paint? Can you tell me a little more on this product and how it is applied? Thanks!
1. You still would have to mask off the the rotors so time savings is doubtful as the masking went very fast and easy. 2. Jack stands were in place, you just cannot see them with the angle I took the photo.
Must for Rust is just applied with a sponge and it starts working right away eating the rust, takes just seconds. Once dry you just wipe everything down and prep for paint. I am not sure about how safe it would be on paint.
You can see one of the jack stands between the two jacks, closer to the jack that is closest to the front of the car.
I stand corrected on jack stand but it still would have been easier to remove the rotors. You could have painted the friction surface as the pads would have cleaned the paint back off. No masking required. Looks Nice though
Very nice work there....I really don't see a need to say if you can do that you have too much time on your hands, etc. It's an f'n Ferrari, and fixing the rusty rotors is just attention to detail. If it's a Camry, fine, don't sweat the rust. If it's an all out track beater, fine, don't sweat it. I agree it's easier to remove them from the car, that's what I did. I also sprang for powder coating the fronts, but that's not worth the cost. High temp paint is fine with good prep. Personally I used glass bead blasting to remove the rust, then just painted the rears with high temp silver and they look great, just a bit dirty now after 2 yrs.
Good choice for color. I've done this on other cars but I stuck with flat black VHT. For those not into rattle can paints, of course theres zinc coating
