Forget my noobyness but it's ok to paint the entire rotor? I see people do it all the time. Just wonder if it builds up on the pads

Same thing I thought and I'm pretty sure that it's a no no. Unless this guys knows something about the kind of paint we don't know? But I'm seeing a rattle can so assuming its just that then the paint will need to come off the contact surface before installed on the vehicle.

yes it is just regular paint the contact patch will be cleaned off when I do the embeding process on the new pads, leaving that area nice and shiny but keeping the rest protected from rust.

@Fosscore is who I got the idea from and @NORCAL SS has a thread on it

I think it is the people that have powder coated that surface that have the issue as it does not come off as easily.

Yes looks good. Confirmed spray paint will be removed during the embedding process and through the course of normal braking. There may be a burnt paint smell for a while,
but that will go away.

Spray Paint will remove YES, Powder coat NO. Too thick and it is baked on too hard IMO as stated above.

Powder coat would destroy pads because it's tougher than paint, it's more like cement.
Can always paint them then take them to a shop and get them turned ($20) before install.
Plastidip is thick and would gum up a whole lot more than just a thin layer of paint (3 coats enamel vs 6+ coats rubber)

That's just me guessing, no facts lol

Hey now I'm a firm believer in the dip. I think it's one of the best inventions since sliced chicken:happy107:
