Anybody know where to get the gray paint the rotors were painted with? Mine are a little rusty and would like to spif them up.

Thanks,

Mine were rusty as well . I used 1500 dg header paint in black as per the service manager. They do come in other colors. The rotors should have been zinc plated then it wouldn't have rust on them

If you really wanna go crazy with a glossy finish, go with G2 paint kits from Duplicolor. I've used both VHT and G2 and had better luck with longevity on the G2 kits.

Still, anything is better than letting the rust continue to form. I don't think you can find the "exact" same stuff that came on them factory, but both of the above listed options will do you nicely.

Just remember that with painting rotors and calipers, its preparation, preparation, preparation. And then...remember to prepare the surfaces to be painted. Makes all the difference in a long-lasting paint job.

do you mask off everything or just take off the rotors? Seems like it would probably take about the same amount of time.
