Sorry for the duble post but I cannot edit my last entry now ... I have this question to ask:

Ermmmm... as most might have guessed I'm not a typical car modifying person so please excuse this question if its a bit dumb/obvious..

I had my calipers painted gold but now I've noticed my brake discs have turned bright gold too. Its obvious the paint has rubbed off... Is that supposed to happen? I only noticed it after I got home from FITP and went to use up my FITP film today *lol*

are u sre that u left the paint dry the fuull amount of hour it was meant to?? and also u might of had abit of pain just touching the disc and as it was so hot and using your brakes, it might of melted on to it!!

Oh dear pink, that's don't look too good. Hope it hasn't screwed up the discs too much or affected their braking ability.

Either that garage slapped it on and managed to get it on the disc or as the dude says it just hadn't dried in time, dripped onto the discs and then spread.

I feel for you, what with the chipped alloy and burnt ceiling you're certainly hitting you run of bad luck.

Pinky have you driven the car since you washed it and took the pick?
For some reason the discs on the new fords tend to get a gold/rusty covering on them after cleaning the alloys especially if you use an alloy wheel cleaner.
If you have not take it for a drive down the road and have another look at them when you get back the surface layer should have come off.

I would agree with phyzzo pinkrinse, looks like you have just washed your alloys and the discs have corroded slightly?? If this is the case they will soon polish off 1/2 a mile up the road.

na not that colour guys, thats not even the colour of the rusty colour u get once u finished cleaning!!!thats the paint

Yeah I've seen that too Phyzzo. Its strange 'cause it appears in no time when your washing it but it goes very quickly after you brake.

I think yours looks more like the paint colour though Pink i'm afraid!

You can't really tell from the second photo, I can assure you that the discs on my 170 used to go a very similar colour if I used alloy wheel cleaner. You won't know for sure until Pinky gives us her reply!

Yeah I know, but mine tend to go a darker brown to that, although I haven't used alloy cleaner myself.
I hope your right though for Pink's sake!

Chris

Exactly, look at the exposure on the second pic!!!

Oooooh... Well I never.... I went out to have a quick look and they do appear to be back to the "normal" colour. How weird is that!? *heh* ... *phew*

good news pink rinse, what a relief.

Pink-If u had just washed the car maybe it was rust forming on the disks as this happens in a matter of minutes when they are hot!!
