Nice, might whip them off during the next month and give them a few coats and see if they stay looking good!

As dust doesn't stick not etch into them:)
And a nice box fresh look as we all know how pants a rusty disc and hat looks through a wheel

A quick read of this thread left me thinking people were lacquering the disc contact surfaces, presumably not?

From what I've seen on YouTube you can actually do that and it just rubs away on the contact area after a short bit of braking, leaving the non-contact areas protected from rust.

Hahaha entire disc buddy including the braking surface
3 coats and left for 2/3 days
The area gets taken off upon first use of brakes and leaves any unswept area nice and shiny:)
Laquer is hard but not versus new pads and braking

But at least you thought it through most just do and learn heard way hahah
But honestly it's only a film of laquer versus the bedding in paste on a pad with stopping pressure for a big car a speed, it's not going to win,)
But stops any horrid rust rings around the face and the rest of disc;)
