I got a new EBC brake rear rotor and pads for my IS. It is a flat piece of steel with no paint on it. I think that it will rust on the parts that don't touch the brake pads. Will it rust? If I need to paint it then what would you guys recommend? I know for the most part it is covered up with the bags so it doesn't need to be pretty.

Thanks, David in Fletcher NC

No paint. It is stainless steel.

Rotor, usually unpainted. But I have seen someone who did paint theirs. Just don't paint the surface where the pads touch.

Caliper, now I've been thinking of doing that, to match the bike.

If it is Stainless steel then I'm not going to paint it.

I painted the parts of the rotor untouched by the pads with a red high heat spray paint from home depot.  This was not on the Valkyrie, it was on an 1100 Spirit.  Not sure how much of a difference there is in the rotors between the bikes.  The 1100 has floating brake surfaces.  I was going to powder coat but the powdercoater didn't want to put the rotor in the oven for fear of warping it so I painted it.  Looks good and has lated a few years now with no issues.  I don't use brake cleaner on the painted parts.
