Member Contributer jeremy77 Posted May 22, 2012 Member Contributer Share Posted May 22, 2012 I've done some hunting and haven't found the answer... How does one paint or powder coat the inner section of the brake disc? Obviously you don't want any coating on the braking surface, but is it possible (or even advisable) to take the two pieces of the disc apart (these are called floating discs, right?) in order to coat the inner mounting section. Or do you just tape them? I'd like to make them look like this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wera803 Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 I had mine done. The guy just taped them off. I wouldn't even attempt to take them apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer jeremy77 Posted May 22, 2012 Author Member Contributer Share Posted May 22, 2012 that's exactly what I'm going for... is that paint or powder? Do I need to worry about the heat of baking the powder warping the rotors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bayarearider Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 I cleaned, steel wooled, taped and use high heat black rattle can. Holding surprisingly well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enzed_viffer Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 I just roughly cleaned mine, taped the disc, and used some gold wheel paint in a spraycan. (The right-hand side disc carrier was silver, the other gold, so sprayed them to match). Did the same with my '90 VFR750 when I had that too. It seems to adhere well to the aluminum, because it never flaked off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is powder. I did the wheels silver (instead of black) and the rotors black (instead of gold). No problems with warping the rotors. I'm sure they get much hotter during normal use than they would in an oven for 30 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
