[Cantslowdown]

Will alittle bit of paint hurt the rotors and pads..Right now i am painting my hats and just wanting to know if it will affect anything..I was thinking it would just wair off the when i hit the brakes..I plan on taking what paint i can get to off..

try to not get too much on there. the paint will wear off, but it can cake up on your pads, it probably wont hurt them but try to clean it up

simi gloss black..I am just using a spray can..I only have the back ones done..I'll have to wait to do the front..I'll get pics when i have it all done..But the back ones was all nasty and rusted i had to sand them down alittle to make sure the paint would stick..

Try not to get it in the pad area. Use electrical tape to tape off the contact area. The pads will wear the paint off, but it won't be a smooth transition. When i painted my 13" rotors, i did the entire rotor. When the pads wore it away, the edge was jagged. I had to redo them by taping off the swept area.

The pic on the left was done by spraying the entire rotor with no taping. The pic on the right was done masking off the swept area with electrical tape (easy to curve)

It's been 3 weeks and they still look great

Are you talking about rotors or calipers? Am I drinking rum or vodka...? Life's mysteries. Don't paint your rotors. And if you get some on there, clean it up. Your life depends on it.
