Brake Rotors

[Mazdaspd035]

I painted mine. It took about 3 hours to clean and paint all four corners. It looks great now.

How hard was it to mask off the area that you didn't want painted? What type of paint did you use, I have that high temp engine enamel made I think by Dupont or could be someone else.

I sprayed some silver Duplicolor High-Heat paint into a Big-Gulp cup(don't use styrofoam!! ), and brushed the paint on. That way I didn't have to mask everything off.

I thought there was a TSB (tech serv bullet) about the rust on the rotors. I'm gonna call the dealership to get mine done 'cause I took the wheels off to clean the inside of my rims for the first time and the rust on the inside of the wheels was amazing. the end of the spline from the tranny was completely rusted. if you haven't taken off your wheels to clean them/check, I might suggest it. I will repost when I get off the phone with KC dealers.

P.S. Painting your rotors shouldn't be that big of a deal, you can tape it up pretty easily (I was supposed to be checking that too when I took off my wheels).

i have crossdrilled and slotted on mine that are cadmium plated and have no problems with them at all, and they look great.

Sorry but the 577 PSL/PSR and the 578 PSL/PSR do not fit the MSP. Those are for the MP3/P5, the MSP has bigger brakes.

I tried them.

Power slot doesnt make rotors for the MSP. I have called power slot and they said they dont have any plans for the MSP yet...

will the msp rotors fit on a p5 with stock 16" rims?

Not they wont, the MSPs have a bigger rotor than any other protege to date. So they wont fit on a P5..
