do rusted calipers affect braking? or is it just surface rust and cosmetic? so if i just sand the rust off and paint over it, would the rust come back just like how rust comes back on body panels?
also... uh... if you paint rotors to prevent rust... whch parts of the rotor should you paint? the whole thing? only the front? back and front? just the middle part that sticks up? -------------------- |

I used black paint to keep it all clean. It was also high temp engine paint. It hasn't rusted yet. I could have had an inhibater. But jgreen is right, painting the rotors is not such a great idea. It won't look very good, and it's just not the best idea. It's easy to remove the calipers to paint them.
