Default need suggestions...

what do you guys think i should do with my brakes? i need some sort of quick fix until i can afford an upgrade. should i paint these crusty bad boys or just leave them the way they are? i don't really want to paint them, but they look like hell. the calipers aren't so bad, but the hubs have a reddish rusty color to them. if i do paint them, what color should i do it in? everybody has red and i can't really think of another color. maybe a dark silver or gunmetal? or should i leave them the way they are?

here's a pic.



all comments welcome.

Who cares? Just keep it the way it is.

Don't, DON'T paint them red. Don't paint anything red.

Take some steel wool to clean them up, then see if you can find some high temp clear coat.

New rotors at autozone are only 30 each. And they work fine.
