Be sure to get the paint made for brakes so it can dissipate heat properly.

Make sure that when you paint the rotors, you don't get any on the actual braking surface, as that will probably end up fucking over your pads, or at least make them underperform.

Here is an idea for you guys painting your rotors:

Take a cardboard frozen pizza tray and just cut a circle out of the center and use that as a painting template for both sides of the rotor. That way no paint will get in the braking surface.

Yea I am back at school so maybe over winter break I'll paint em. I'm planning on doing a lot of exsessive taping to make sure i dont get paint all over parts that shouldn't get paint on em. I really dont want to remove my break pads though because they can be a bitch to get back in sometimes. So idk what I'll do with that.

I hope you plan on doing the painting with the rotor OFF the car.

Its going to be less work to just take them off, and you'll get an even and decent looking finished product.

Mine always get rusty when I dont drive mine. I guess I'll have to park it in the garage from now on.
