I've taken the brake discs of my car and they are seriously rustly. So on my shopping list for minispares are new disc and black stuff pads (MSSK014). Now in the ultimate mission to rust proof everything I haven't seen anything on here about protecting the brake discs. It seems sad to think after rebuilding her, when everything else will still be shiny the brake discs will be rusting. So the question is can they be painted? OR be protected by some other means?
Obviously the paint would have to be extremely high temperature. EBC don't give a spec for the black stuff but the green stuff pads are designed up to 600oC so as long as the paint can withstand that. And as long as the pad/disc interface isn't painted! The only negative I can think is the paints inefficiency at dissipating heat. But is it any worse then a layer of rust?
