Re: Painting The Rotor Hat
coating the rotors will aid in reducing not eliminating rust,,,,I have for many years screwed with this ,,,,the rotors made today are pure junk...they rust from the inside out....no way to protect from that failure..
my 1996 has the originals and they are still good....the 2000 has rotors that need replacing as the pad area is now blistering crators...
coating the rotor where the rim contacts is no problem....when steel and alloy wheels contact, you get a bad corrosion ,,,sometimes can't get the wheel off...coating the rotor prevents this///also a small coating of antiseize will allow rotor /wheel removal with out the need for the big hammer...
as long as the wheel studs do not get a coating of paint or antiseize ,,with proper torque, and after 25-50mi , re-torque this has worked for me ....never had any problems removing wheels/rotors...rotate tires and service brakes as needed every 10-15 k mi...
