There's a lot of chemistry going on with bedding pads and rotors together, adding random elements of paint and/or powdercoating is less than ideal..

Josh,

Thanks for the input. Do you have any suggestions? I know it is only cosmetic, but it bothers me.

It's the use of a pad shape from the caliper that doesn't hit the full face of the rotor. We run into that too at times with utilizing the AP Racing components to build brake kits. Doesn't have any effect on the performance of the kit, but can leave a 'ring' of rust if the rotor isn't zinc coated.

I'm not ultimately familiar with Stop Tech's setup here.. aren't they zinc coated to prevent rust? Seems hard to fathom.
