Anyway, mask off the hub and rotor surface, leaving about 1/2 to 3/4 " of the rotor exposed near the hub. Get it? I hope I am explaining this well enough. Then spray a couple of coats of the high temp paint. Do not worry about overlapping the paint a little on the pad contact area on the rotor as it will come off with a few brake applications.

I hope that this helps.
I think I get what you are saying. Thanks! I dont wanna be rolling around with rusty rotors.
