Brake Discs
Hi guys, thought you guys would be the ones to ask, whats the best thing to clean up a set of rear discs that have been standing a bit and have gone slightly rusty on the vented edges and the centres where it bolts on, also they are drilled and groved and look a bit rusty in the wholes and groves, was thinking about skipping the edges and centres over with some 180 discs and painting them up, is it worth cleaning out the groves and drilled wholes and painting them too or would it just be waisting my time once they were fitted and used, any sudgestions welcome, Cheers Mark

I would take the disks off, clean them up with a wire brush tool in your drill, paint them with some VHT or similar all over, put them back on the car with an old set of pads and take it easy braking untill the surface of the disk has cleared the paint...then swap the pads back to a good set and hey ho you have a painted disk all over excet the braking surface.
