Yes, you saw that right. This is a one up on the guy who inadvertantly painted everything when he did his calipers as this guy did this intentionally. I am dying here.

It totally does. Actually a lot of people paint their rotors this way and then use the brakes to remove the paint from the pad surface. It doesn't leave any place for the rust to start except what gets cleaned after every rain by the next use of the brakes. It's pretty much the only way to make sure you coat every surface on the rotor.
The fail here isn't with the DIY guy - it's with whoever made that article. rolleyes.gif
