What a difference it makes a year later when your under there looking around.
Good idea! .. I coated mine with AMSOIL HD Metal protector (cosmoline) but after nearly 6 years it's due for another treatment .. I've thought about using some POR-15..
Regarding brake rotors, I've heard of guys masking the surface of new rotor and painting with high heat paint.. I haven't tried it but seems like it would keep the inside vent area of the rotor form rusting and scaling.
