Can anyone help a newb figure out the best way to paint the disk brakes? Which paint is best to use?
I may be in the wrong thread, but I figured it was part of the wheel.

Most people just spray the entire Rotor with a High Heat paint
Once you use the brakes a few times the paint on the contact surfaces burns off
I sprayed my rotors with high heat paint and its lasted a long time
Drums same thing
Suspension and Brake forum maybe?
way to say your breaks suck by painting the drums a bright color
gogo conversion kit!!
I used the brush on kit. I used the high heat caliper spray once and then the 2nd time around tried the brush on kit. I prefer the brush on kit over the spray on hands down. Hell it even lasted longer than the spray on.
I used Rust-o-leum enamel. Its staying on just fine. About a year and a half now. Only cost me 5 bucks for a pint and some brushes.
I always sand everything down really well and spray it with brake cleaner before painting with a high heat paint or brake caliper paint.

o also use high heat engine paint, and prep good. also i always paint my drums black.
ive talked to my dad about this[hes a mechanic] and he has said that the reason people say the paint doesnt work is because they arent properly preparin the surface. to do it correctly, you need to sandblast it. then do the normal cleaning. then get heat engine paint instead of caliper paint, will stay and last longer.
Just try brushing it on!! Make sure everything is cleaned though.
Don't want any more dammage on your
disc brakes
