[Tigers] Brake project, painting the discs

                Put the frozen calipers in a bucket of ATF and let them soak – they will free up – pull or cut the rubber boots off first so the ATF can soak in – if you can pump some ATF behind the pistons do that to.

 

I have painted the center sections on other discs with out problems.   You just have to remember that the rotors get hot so you need heat resistant paint or caliper paint in a thin coat.

Hello,

Recently, I got two old frozen calipers that i'm trying to free up.

 

But today's question is about the discs. I want them to look nice through my Minilites but i've heard that you

shouldn't paint one of the center sections. Is this true? Is the center that shouldn't be painted the concave side

or the convex side? I sure would like to paint both !

 

Please help!
