Rotor hubs paint
I have the zinc coated rotor hubs I'd like to touch up or repaint. I'm trying to source paint either spray or brush paint. Can anyone point me in the right direction.
Thanks, Tom

I sprayed mine black with this: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Rust-Ole...1169/203161184
If you want them to stay silver, use this:

I've sprayed headers with that stuff (properly scuffed and prepped) and it has held up for YEARS. It will last forever on your rotor hats.

POR 15 TOP COAT in silver. Bought at an automotive paint store. A direct to metal rust cover up and preventative. Qt. can thicker than molasses brush on... rotors, hubs, any suspension parts, satin finish. Looks just like a big can of anti-sieze compound. Fantastic results.

Thanks for all the suggestions for paint for the rotor hub. Should come in handy someday when I have to touch up them on my car.

I have the zinc coated rotors also but they still look pretty darn close to new after over 10 years on the car. What do yours look like that you need to paint them? If I lived in a different climate maybe they wouldn't look so good still probably. I'm curious about the before and after also.

Aloha, last thing before finally putting things back together is calipers with silver POR 15. I’ll post before and after in the next few days. Used it in gloss black on frame rails and other places. Yea it’s hard to get off anything including your skin!

I'd be doing the same thing. Stains suck and I'd have to get rid of them. Should look great when you're done.
