Ugly rusted rotors?

I finally got tired of looking at them:

:eek:
Wow, that's clean. Care to tell us how you did it?
(and I hope that whatever you cleaned it with didn't leave a nice, slick residue :lol: )

I'll post the pictoral step by step tomorrow, as I am still working on the front ones, and want to go to bed!
Wirebrush
Wirewheel and drill
High Temp Silver paint
An oven to cure the paint
Hopefully it will last, from what i have read the method works on manifolds and headers.

If it isn't involved in any contact with any part of the car, and the paint can stand and disipate enough heat, there really isn't any reason why not. The reason they probally don't come like that is because its a bitch to do on every pair.
Looks sw33t.

Just got the fronts done, and seem fine after one drive. Let's hope it lasts.
I am very happy with how it looks now, with my Rota wheels the rust was easy to see.

If you are willing to pull em off, a bucket of Coke for about 20 min or so should eat that rust right off, rinse, repeat.:)

Yay Coke!

I wonder if rusted rotors are covered on warranty...mine look horrible.

Will you rims stick to the paint after being on the car for a while?
| CirrusWRX | 08-03-2003 04:15 PM |
Sent you a PM from Scoobymods Rally1 re: a long term update. Care to share your opinions on how your work has held up over the last few months?!
| Tobey | 08-03-2003 06:07 PM |
i did the same thing only i used plasti-kote high temp wood stove paint, it's flat black. i have used this stuff on all my rortors for about the last 5 years.
the stuff seals great and rust will come back every couple of months (but it is a very light rust). you can just quickly hit the spot with scotchbrite and a quick spray of the paint and it's fine again for another couple months.

why not just by the rotors with a zinc plating.
| Rally1 | 08-03-2003 07:17 PM |
No problems with my Rota wheels sticking to the paint.
The only place rust looks to be creeping back through is on the outside ends of the rotors, but you have to look close.
Why buy new zinc plated rotors when you can use these perfectly functional stock rotors?

I like the racing look of no centercap, but it would be nice to hide the rust on that setup.

too bad i cant find buddy club centercaps that fit....MAYBE the gaudy rota ones that stick out do. but the hub sticks out pretty far...

| The Ru | 08-03-2003 07:47 PM |
maybe i could take teh wheel off and spray paint the hub....lol. I dunno bout that. rust would prolly get back there.

I used these on my Rota's , no idea if they would fit on the real deal wheels like yours.

i have a set of buddy club centers i got, they are like that. the hub sticks too far out of the wheel for them to fit. i even sawed off the attachment tabs and they still wont go. maybe ill find some eventually.

Thanks much Rally1!! Those look damned spiffy, and I believe you're right off the ocean, correct? So you sorta got to try em out in the equivalent of a summertime new england winter :lol:
Those look great, and you have convinced me that I need to do the same. (ps. got the same center caps and think they're fantastic-- much better than the "CF" ones that come standard IMHO)
Also appears that the rust is coming back in the most "difficult" to keep clean area - not a huge surprise, but it is amazing to see how clean they are vs. my orange+brown mess. :o

Yes I am one block from the beach, and my garage has filled up with crap, so it's parked outside at night, in the sea fog.
I think I would have no new signs of rust at all had I painted them when I first bought the car, or if I had cleaned even better.
When I look at the rotors on my Talon, I see what would have ultimatly happened, and it aint pretty. It looks like the '04 WRX models come painted from the factory.
Also I used to live in PA myself, Lehigh University (Bethlehem, PA).

How much did it cost to get them powdercoated?
