can you polish your stock rotors?
ive seen some rotors that have been polished and the queestion is would it be worth it to polish them to a shine . or will it just keep getting rusted.

PEWTER- 2000 CAMARO SS #3821
Buy some zinc-coated and they will stay very nice, I got a complete set drilled and slotted and they look great all the time.

Pewter metallic- 2000 Camaro SS
Lots of people debate that cross drilled rotors are more prone to cracking. I think most people agree that slotted rotors are better on performance. The rotors I have are extremely affordable <$300 for all 4, and all 4 are cross drilled, slotted and zinc washed. The big benefit of them to me is the looks which sounds like what you are mostly after. I don't beat on my Camaro or abuse it in any way so I am not real worried about the debate on whether or not cross drilled is more prone to cracking the rotors. I can PM you the place I got my rotors from if you are interested, just let me know

I am going to paint the rusty part of my rotors a dark grey color. I just dont have the extra money to buy rotors (not working cause of spine injury) do you guys think that would look decent?? I think anything would look better than the rust.

I recently installed some Triton D&S rotors (zinc plated) with ceramic pads. I cleaned up the rotors and painted them silver on the main part and black on the back part that bolts to the A frame area. I like 'em with the chrome rims. They work well, are quiet, and affordable (about $150-175 shipped for all four). Here are some mediocre pics.

That does look really good. If I can get 4 for $175 I may go that route. I like it!!

Thanks. Yeah, they seem to be working well. I was a little worried about the quality at first (before I received them), but they seem to be a good product. The zinc plating had to wear off the contact surface and that was the only time they felt a little rough. Now they're good to go.
