Well, I was passing through LR Monday and it just happened to be a nice day so I stopped by for some more pics. I had my rear brake pads come completely off a while back and needed the car, so I had to replace the pads and rotors on the rear with ones from NAPA. It took about a week for them to rust over. I can't believe I didn't take close up pics, but I painted to inside part of the rotors silver. I'm pleased with it, just not sure how well it'll hold up. You can kinda see it in these pics, and I'll post some close up's later on. Not the "best" solution, but better than rust.

Edit: found some pics I had stored on my camera. The if you look near the hub on the rear's you can see the rust, then compare with the new look. Not exactly the best way, but really finished off the look with the new wheels (still debating painted calipers, not sure if it's worth the hassle).

I left it all on, just pulled the wheels off, taped around the rotors, then taped up newspaper around the fender wells and other parts of the car. Just make sure you have plenty of time to do it. I was rushed and had to apply the coats too closely together. It has already chipped around the edge. I used hi-temp engine paint. I should have followed with a few coats of hi-temp clear coat, just didn't know at the time. I figured it's easy to redo, so I'll probably do that this summer.

Yep, go for it! Mines starting to chip in places, but I think a few coats of a hi temp clear would solve that problem.
