Cleaned up my rear rotors/drums
Cleaned up my rear rotors/drums
So I replaced my rear rotors about 6 months ago. Since then, the drum part of it (where the parking brake shoes are) has gotten some nasty rust on them. Really an eyesore on an otherwise very well-kept truck. So today I went down to Home Depot and picked up some Rustoleum high-temp flat black paint. Came home tonight and used a wire wheel to clean up the "hats" of the rotor. Washed them down real well with Simple Green. I then masked off the rotor surface, and painted everything else with the high-temp paint.
Sorry I don't have any pics, but it turned out very well. With the wheels back on, it looks like...well like it should; nice and clean. The paint isn't something that anyone would typically notice. But the rust was really noticable.
All in all, took me about 1.5 hours, partly because I also detailed the back sides of my rear wheels, as well as the wheel wells.
