What can i do to prevent my brake rotors from rusting so much? I drive a 1995 acura integra and I just bought brake rotors for my car about 3weeks ago and they're already rusting.

all brake rotors rust depending on how often they get used

 

yep, i can use it today and by tomorrow morning theyll be a small coat of orange rust over it... but that rubs off once you start driving.

 

You can paint your rotors with some high temp silver spray paint, or maybe even hit them with some high temp clear coat when you first get them. The rust that forms where your pads touch the rotors will disappear after you drive your car and hit the brakes.

 

wait, didnt you get banned at HAN, lol (mobstersmoke)

 

My friend's car was out of commission for a few months and the rotors had a lot of rust on them. He drove the car and the rotors are now back to normal. All that rust gets rubbed off by the brake pads anyhow. Don't worry, be happy.

 

move to southern cali......or get carbon rotors.....

 

i thought roters were satanlesss... or is it the dust from the pads that cause the dust.... well i have had my 81 accord sitting for 3 months and 2 floods and started right up today and drove it around the block and the rotors look like new and solid orange before..... its normal
