While sweeping the little pebbles my tires leave behind from the floor of my garage, I've noticed (4) distinct rust spot patterns on the floor. They appear to be where the wheels/tires are sitting when parked. Since it always rains up here in the great northwest, I know its coming from the TL's notorious rotors. Anybody else notice this or I am the only lucky one?
Are the rotors Snook sells Cadmium coated between the plates or just on the faces? For those who have them, any signs of rust yet?

 

I should be getting them within a month. Dunno when I'll put them on though, maybe before the next meet! The coated ones shouldn't rust. But I can just hear Shoofin now, talking about how they'll all rust.

yeah that surface rust really isn't anything to worry about...rotors rust all the time...mine rust every time they get wet and have the night to dry...but they are good as new after the 1st stop sign...

 

I took of my rotors taped the braking area and painted the rest of the rotor with black rust proof paint(Rustoleum) after giving it a good sanding. This worked considerebly for me and I think looks more decsent. You can see my rotors pretty clear through my rims and my rotors always seemed to have that rusted look and had the same problem with my garage after it rained. This has done the trick for me!!
