Nissan 370Z Forum - View Single Post - After it rains, some rust appears. Braking scrapes this off. But is this pic normal?

That is 100% normal. The pads do not cover that portion of the rotor, so the rust doesn't get rubbed off when braking. Some aftermarket rotors come painted black to prevent the exposed metal from rusting
