Brake rotor painting

hehehehe, that is a lot of work Ali ;) - Not sure if it's worth it, LOL

What type of knife you use to cut the tape? I have all types of precision knives but dang that thing worked awesome. I believe im goina paint mine in few days before I put them on

nice job

bad ass knife

These rotors look pretty cool! Where did you get the drilled rotors from I can’t find any auto parts stores that regularly sell drilled and or slotted rotors?

Why did you bother making them up? The pads would rub the bits off that you need bare in seconds. Plus the cross drilled holes can still rust.

Good technique Alimech.. hope that paint is durable : ) , Im going to try the VHT primer/paint.. probably use q-tips to thoroughly hit the inside of the fins.. this is a replacement set of 'corrosion resistant' rotors that failed after one year.. I will have to make a oven out of cinderblocks and heat gun for the baking... gotta be creative! thanks for the vid !

Would be a lot easier if you just use a sheet of plastic to mask off the face of your rotor instead of using 5 rolls of masking tape. You could also reuse the plastic on the other rotors.

Question... why are you not putting clear coat after the 3 coats of paint, and why no primer? Not a criticism, I’m genuinely curious why that isn’t done as well... great video BTW, I would have never thought to paint the rotors.

I just cut a circle in a piece of rosin paper. Less messy than tape. I don’t bother painting the inside. Duh.

That's a Original methode ;)

You do know u shouldnt paint the mating face of the disc right? Paint expands under heat and has been known on occasions to swell putting pressure on the wheel bolts and stripping them or shearing heads of causing wheels to fly off and causing bad accidents !

Wow, what a great result! Such a great job you did! Love it!

drillholes will rust and the pad surface never wares the whole rotor face. so whatever you didnt paint and masked off will rust.. better off just paint rotor fully

Paint no go not high heat paint

Awesome video. How do you paint evenly between two plates inside the vents?

Very helpful but painting the inside was pointless

If it's a new rotor you'll need to scuff up the surface before you paint it or the paint will just fall off.

how long did it last? did it end up rusty, peeling or chipping off? thanks

Well done bruv, what a good job! Keep it up ensha Allah..

nice technic. love the vid.

you could use some sort of zinc spray. It will last longer than high temp paint, also prevents rusting much better, and it wont effect heat dissipation at all

May I ask how long they remained rust free?

This is the most correct video on how to paint rotors. I ended up retouching painted rotors the way he painted first time.

The drill gun roller is impressive

Pretty clever. I was thinking about dunking the rotor to get the fins real good. What do you think about that

Nice job; I like it!

Dude. What a great idea. Thanks for sharing this.

Nice video, do you need to sand the painted area first or is it ok just to straight paint them from the box ?

Doing this now. Looks good

you should not cover the contactczone because the pads doesn't cover it completly so you'll get rust where you haven't painted.

Great job, I love the idea of using a drill to spin it and more evenly get paint everywhere. I did not see you prime it first. I tried both with and without primer and using primer made the finish last until I replaced them again. Not using primer had them showing rust after a year or so.

I like smart people.

❤ beautiful. thank you x
