Is there anything I can do to keep my rotors from looking rusty? It really looks crummy.

Don't get them wet.

To get rid of them, jsut drive around the block and use the brakes at each corner.

Replace them with some DBA Longlife Gold rotors. Wherever you previously saw rust, you will now see gold

See the Group Buy section

I have RM Racing slotted rotors. They are slotted and cadmium plated. Wherever you see rust you will see silver.

Rotors rust if not used. That's why all new cars in lots have rusty rotors. Like these folks said, drive your car. Rust'll be gone in a day or two.

Yup, header paint. Holds up on the street ok, but the heat from track braking is tough on the finish.. but still no rust.

The edges of the rotors and center vanes are always rusty. Normally there is also a line of rust between the hub and the swept area. On my rotors both areas are silver.

The calipers are done in silver.. in that picture they are reflecting light and look brighter than they are, but the color is a close match to the body color.

The wheels are just clean, I don
