Existing rotor/hubs are starting to show signs of surface rust - so I want to give them a quick touch up (black gloss finish). Trickiest bit is going to be the outer & inner edges of the rotor. Any suggestions on making the job easier ???
Planning to use some fine emery paper to clean up the surfaces, some rust treatment ???, then some of that UFH spray paint ( the high temp stuff). Was hoping not remove the calipers etc......

I would be removing the rotor to do this. It’s not a very hard job and it will save you any messy overspray. if a job is worth doing its worth doing properly!

Could remove the rotor and paint them. Also heard of painting it and not worrying about the over spray on the face because the pads will pull it off. Never tried it though
