^ basically. it also helps if you're in the process of installing new rotors and pads. you have to unbolt everything anyway. good stuff.

 

I cleaned them *****es a bunch. <--(cowpoker) I see it more as slappin' on some paint as to recording my every detail in a log including the date, time it took, and cost. Im just messing. And i heard it was pretty hard to take them thangs off. <--(cowpoker) Oh, and after i cleaned them i sanded them a little and cleaned again.

 

ever thought sbout painting your rotors?...i painted my bois integ rotors and it looks pretty good...the pads rip it off the parts that it touches so no need to mask...but it kinda melted a little...anybody kno if theres any rattle can paint that can stand more than 500 degrees?

 

high heat dupli color teh flat black with stands up to 1500

red is 500

 

I hope you're joking about 'not masking'.

 

Or your going to have a pink/black under body.

 

its not too bad...if you try not to get too much paint where the pads contact the rotor...and i didnt even notice any red brake dust anywhere...

 

It affects braking and contaminates your pads. But what do I know.

 

There's a thing called wind. We have it here...

 

Jake I think you should look into what I'm talking about before you make another ignorant comment.

 

When you spray paint outside it goes everywhere cause the wind. Thissss is silly. Like a wabbit. Im lost. hu?

 

wind has nothing to do with what I'm talking about.

If you were to paint the rotor (complete, kind of like how you just quicky-spray jobbed the calier/pads) then you will have a layer of paint in between the rotor and brake pad.

True, you can drive around and hit the brakes as much as you want until the pads wear through to the metal rotor surface again, but wind does nothing with the paint dust. In fact, some of the paint will actually embed itself into the brake pad - a byproduct of the heat generated whenever you hit the brake pedal. This in turn gives you a contaminated brake pad, and thus will affect braking performance.

 

Um, i was just saying paint will go all over with no tape. And the day i painted them was the day we were getting strong winds from hurricane Katrina. The way i painted them, i painted almost every angle so if i hadnt taped i would have paint on everything else i wasnt trying to paint. And i need new pads anyways.

 

oh i um completely took off the old rotors...and yea i was worried about the pads so i actally took the calipers off twice so i could wear it down with the old pads and instal the new pads after there was a clean metal rotor surface...lol...and you can always paint inside...

 

Jake you got a barn... paint in there next time homie
