i understand the rotors due to hub rust, but the brake pads do show through the calipers in the middle,


but... rotors wear down.. so painting them doesn't increase longevity...


BUT THEY LOOK GREAT !

That paint will just get worn off the rotors and pads, I wonder what it will smell like once your brakes have heated up. =0

oh man...

Well I guess the joke here flew over everyones head, but we're supposed to laugh at how this clown not only painted his rotors and pads silver(ghetto) but also painted his FRONT LAWN silver(GHE-TTO!!)

the big tip-off is that theres 4 holes in those rotors, oh well..
