Brake corrosion and smoothness

[Gmachine]

Hi, is anyone else having any brake issues ?
The discs on show are corroding on the central part which looks unsightly and also unless I am very careful the brakes snatch on when coming to a steady stop. The car is 3 months old.

Front or rear brake discs?

That's the brake hub. They are unsightly.
That's why I intend to paint, mine. When i get the chance/weather permitting. But won't effect braking.

A coat of zinc paint will sort those brake hubs, will look like new. Happens to all cars, my BMW E91 had completely rusted hubs after the 1st year of ownership, it was just surface corrosion.

Yes the hubs need to be painted gloss black don't they.

They certainly do.
Halfords Engine paint is great. Not The actual Caliper paint, that's like piss.
The Engine paint is far better, nice and thick. Looks great.

Corrosion inhibiting cleaning products help, like a snow foam, wheel cleaner and general shampoo.

Rear disc scoring normal?

Has anyone had their rear disks looking like the attachment? I have taken it to the dealers and only then did I notice that their test model was the same. Engineer checked and said couldn't find anything wrong.

Mine are still rusty.

Never got round to doing them and probably never will.

I've used silver hamorite smooth on other cars, seems to work well and last for quite a while

Now I don't know which to go for, I've got both Silver and Black Hammerite.

EDIT - No I still think Black.

black would look good with the black wheels

Absolutely no doubt, Black. Silver looks a bit Tacky. And as bedsev said Black would blend in nicely with the wheels.

As above paint the hubs black and give the discs a few good hard braking sessions on low regen (when safe) every week. Also in reverse some advise.

Thanks everyone, I’ll try that with the pads and paint the hubs when the weather permits.
