My new Brembo brake rotors arrived last week and damn they are sexy when the are brand new. I was just wondering if new rotors will rust on the hats just like my old ones did. They look so good I don't want them to rust. Should I paint the hats with brake caliper paint?

are they bare steel or are they cadium plated?
cadium plated rotors own.

i put powerslot cadmium-plated rotors on my (nissan) s14 about a year ago.
after i did my first mountain run in the car they were smoking... (and i still got left by the 2 guys with s13s on skinnier azenis... damn those sticky mf'ers >:|)
i was wondering why till i got home and used google to discover that the heat range on my porterfield pads went higher than the melting point of cadmium :P
not that it matters whether the friction surface stays cadmium plated... freaked me out tho.past:

I got them on eBay. I got all 4 Brembo rotors and all 4 corners Mintex Redbox pads for $140.
What is some good quality brake paint for the calipers and the hats?Comment
