Question I am going to be cleaning the rust and repainting my front rotors. My question if I get a lil paint in the rotors will it burn off. I will be masking the whole area but just in case.

I will probally use caliper paint.

 

Observe where the pads contact now and do you best- mask off or freehand
A little sandpaper takes it back off before install- or some brake cleaner
Try to have them clean so the pads dont pick it up, but dont freak out
Its like rotor surface rust after washing the car- a few stop signs and its gone

I am guessing how you drive, so:
Caliper paint is good till 600 F
BBQ paint as primer coat-good to 1100 F
then caliper paint for nice look

 

Sweet. I am pretty steady with the paint brush so There might be just a lil paint on the rotors.

 

Damn, I was a little worried; you said you were going to repaint your rotors

 

One day in the sears parking lot I saw a really ugly civic with a lot of ricer crap all over and it and I shit you not he painted the ENTIRE rotor yellow. Of course it was scraping off where the pad met but I just looked at that and said that can't be good.

 

thats one way to leave paint on all the non contact surfaces~

and I was going to make a joke about painting the rotors- and you actually saw one with that- too funny

 

or how about just take off the calipers before painting them?

 

You can but it's not necessary.
I learned an old saying when doing finishing work while building pools, "your final work is only as good as your prep work. As long as you tape everything off before and take your time and be careful, you can do it with them on .

 

i would say if you would wanna be on that professional status..get them powder coated.......yeh it will take time say, but the results will be like N0 other paint job.......my friend had his valve cover powder coated......and boy did that shit look Sweet......and it LASTs......it doesnt fade or anything, and feels great!!!!!!!!! trust me its much better.....but its all up to you..if you got the time.......and its cheap i think his valve cover costed less than $120

 

I dont know if powder coating has a temp limit
A lot of the high $ rotors have electro static paint on them, but even it wears off
Maybe its just me that burns paint off things in the brakes

 

tempt limit??? do u know that power coating means that its bake..........like i said my boy did his Valve cover, and that is in the Engine wouldnt u figure the amount of heat their.......
