Since its bare iron, its gonna rust unless you paint it.

Well ****!

Could you point me in the direction for the DIY on painting my calapers & drums please?

Should I sand down the drums first???

 
Rep Power: 277

Yeah, sand it the best you could (a wired brush mounted on a drill helps alot) then, I would recommend using dupicolor caliper paint, I should have done that from the beginning than using regular high temp paint. Dupilcolor caliper paint kit is a brushed on paint, so its easier and less masking required and it has ceramic compound of some sort which will help it last longer with brake dust.

ok well what about the disk brakes up front. After it rains out here mine get rusted all the way around. How do I prevent that?

 
Rep Power: 313

I just have some at the "top edge" around the front rotor.^

Or are you talking about the "hub" it self valdeezy?

 
Rep Power: 264

no Im talking around the rotor itself up on the front brakes. I have rust around the whole rotor itself. Do I just spray disk cleaner on them or do I have to have them sanded down?

hmmmmm! wierd!

"That" rust, like after raining & what not

always comes off after the first red light I hit.

hmmmmmm, If I had to guess Id say your gona have to sand it.

But maybe someone can confirm that...

if its on the rotor where the brake pad touches it should burn off when you start driving. and i had issue with rust too, i had painted it blue but now black. worked out well for me, good luck

I didnt do anything to the outer edges of the disk, since I cant really see them, but I did paint the centre ring of the disk by the bolts.


Thanks for the rep and as usual, I rep others back.

I’m good Zen.^

This rust alone pisses me off!

Its iron, no matter what you do to it, its going to rust. It gets hot, heat nukes the paint (even the high temp junk). Just come to grips with the fact that brakes are functional, not pretty, and let them do their thing.
If it really bothers you that much, buy lots of paint cans, cuz you'll be painting them every time it rains.
