AFTER:

I'm also thinking about doing this, my front rotors are brand new and the hats are severely rusted. Can you spray the high-temp over the rust? Would love to see some pics...

I think the guy who is doing mine is gonna rub the rust off them toss some high temp paint on.

I'll post pictures when i get the car back

I did mine. I just sanded down the hat, wiped with some cleaner, and painted with high temp. Turned out fine.

I just did mine a few hours ago. I did my hat with rustoleum's stop rust series granite colored paint. Not too much prep involved. Just spray onto the hat and dont worry too much about masking. Just mask off the caliper. Anything else will be "sanded off" thanks to the brake pads doing their job.

Looks nice..

I will be doing mine along with the pad change and rotor turn.

Did my hats and calipers at the same time Rustoleum Satin Black

CLEAR

I paint the calipers and rotor hats on every car I ever own if they can be seen through the wheels. I use engine paint most of the time.

I painted mine on my old car, including the fins that surround the rotor...it just really cleans up the look when you peek at the wheel

Have seen a few painted - nice way to get rid of the rusty look and easy to do.

Same here. I had my calipers done as well and they turned out great. No pics though, car is still in winter storage.

After knocking the rust off with the wire brush, or whatever, I usually spray it down with Brake Cleaner to make sure the surface is nice and clean..Of course, be careful to keep from spraying your calipers if they're painted!
