Disc/pad change DIY
Nice, might whip them off during the next month and give them a few coats and see if they stay looking good!

As dust doesn't stick not etch into them:)
And a nice box fresh look as we all know how pants a rusty disc and hat looks through a wheel

A quick read of this thread left me thinking people were lacquering the disc contact surfaces, presumably not? ![Crying or Very sad :cry:](./images/smilies/crying.gif)

From what I've seen on YouTube you can actually do that and it just rubs away on the contact area after a short bit of braking, leaving the non-contact areas protected from rust.

Hahaha entire disc buddy including the braking surface
3 coats and left for 2/3 days
The area gets taken off upon first use of brakes and leaves any unswept area nice and shiny:)
Laquer is hard but not versus new pads and braking

But at least you thought it through most just do and learn heard way hahah
But honestly it's only a film of laquer versus the bedding in paste on a pad with stopping pressure for a big car a speed, it's not going to win,)
But stops any horrid rust rings around the face and the rest of disc;)
