Brake Disc.. Polish/Paint

For those of you that either painted the center of your rotors or hand polished them.

What process did you use???

Thanks much!

I don't think Ive ever seen any painted, not a bad idea as long as you tape them off real good so nothing gets on the part that comes in contact with the pads. Mine sure are an eye soar, would like to see some pics if anyone has done this. Might be a cheap weekend project.

Had some polished before and they shine up real nice. My powdercoat guy did the polishing for about $45 per rotor. He said he could powder coat the center if I wanted, but they looked great polished. Powdercoat would probably hold up better than paint.

Here's a thread on polishing them, looks easy enough. One of those jobs I should be doing now when it's freezing out.
