Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

The outer rim's on my brake discs have slight surface rust appearing on them. The fronts seem to be worse than the backs. The disc surfaces look fine and the car allegedly had new discs & pads all round last year before I bought it. The pads do look they are brand new. How long do these discs generally last before they start going rusty? is it worth spraying them up as there is still life in the discs or just replace them?

POST 2Original post

A few quick stops will clean them up. Nothing to worry about.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

not the braking surface - the outer rim bit. just looks ugly.

POST 6Original post

The central part of the disc - it's called the bell. I paint mine black with Hammerite.

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

ah - yes the bell end of course. I shall hammerite them up then- maybe stick with silver as the car is black.

POST 8Original post

Just be careful if you're going to drive it hard. I painted the non contact surfaces on my mx5, a few hard stops (ok, the discs went blue) and the paint melted and flung all over my calipers!

POST 9Original post

i'd be more concerned about why they've got hot enough to turn them blue. That's up round 350c!!

POST 10Original post

Zinc primer is a reasonable representation of the traditional matt grey Porsche finish on these. Once you have cleaned up the surface it is easy to spray on and maintain.

POST 12Original post

I was recommended Rustoleum paint by a local motor factors. I applied it with a brush and it went on well. Seems very tough, not sure if it's heat resistant but I've not had any issues in normal road driving.
