Yeah it rained yesterday and it was put away wet. There is really no problem with the wear surface. Just the surface rust in the holes, slots and "the ring". Most people would not notice anything except "the ring".....it is just us people that take close up photos.

If you are going to go the price of the Rotora (unless they have come down), be sure to look around a bit more. I found some that were also posted on here that were plated (nickel?) after machining, but they were over $800 a set. Stillen also has some in that price range that are suppose to be coated after machining. Once you get that high, you have to wonder about just holding out for low weight 2-piece.
I guess I got confused somewhere. Why the baking and what directs this? I like what you are doing. Everything that is not a wear surface will now be painted. That should make it look great.

Baking is to harden the paint per instructions on can. Makes it darn hard. You could put it on the car and let the heat from the brakes do about the same thing, but thought there would be less chance of scratching the paint during install if already cured.

Why don't you fix your front?
While I was having problems with my brake. My rotors was rusted everywhere. I bought some Evapo-Rust. Put it in a pan with my rotors and all the rust evaporated in the liquid.
