sorry to ask again (13" front disks).....

...but I can't find the old thread!

What clear paint do I use on my front rotors so the inside doesn't rust? I know the Cobra calipers don't grab the whole rotor. I went to 3 hardware stores yesterday and couldn't find clear high temp spraypaint

why does it have to be clear... i've personally never seen a clear hi-temp spraypaint either.

couldn't you color match with a metallic silver or something similar?

anyways... free bump for u

This might be the thread you were looking for

I thought most of the anti-rust rotors were a different plating... like zinc, galvanized, or something

that's the one, thanks

damn, i never got around to doing that.

think it's dangerous to paint the whole rotor and just have the caliper strip the outside?

Not really, just need to make sure the pads don't get glazed over from the old paint. Once its worn to metal in the contact areas, check your pads really good. If you seen any problems, replace them. I usually use a old set or cheap set for a few miles to get the paint off mine, then put new pads on within 50 miles of driving or so. Never had a problem yet.
