My front discs are rotten! They are spoiling an otherwise very tidy bike.

Is there anything I can do to prepare/paint them?
Can't afford new discs. :cry:

Thanks

Mask the brake surface of and spray with hammerite primer then a couple of top coats of hammerite gold!!! oh and don't forget to clean it first with thinners :thumbsup:

Use paint stripper to remove the black paint, get a nice 'machined look' like on my GSXR wheel for my front end swap

A wire brush or wire drill attachment should shift the rust.

Soak the disc bolts in viniger or paraffin for a few days will tidy them up.

In the short term, steel wool to remove the rust. Mkae sure you clean all the debris off afterward.
