I replaced my rotors and they came with new hubs as well. Nice and shiny. However, they're already starting to get a coat of "rust" I guess. They're turning brown where water gets on them. I tried a Polish and a coating of WD-40 but it didn't seem to help the spots returning after a wash. Is there anything I can do to keep them shiny or if resistance futile?

Rust is normal, don't compromise your braking by putting crap on your rotors.

For sure, I'm not putting anything on the rotors. I meant the hub. The part that sticks out from the rim that houses the bearings and locking hubs.

Rustoleum? So long as you keep it off the disc itself, painting the hub shouldn't hurt, might get hot enough to require high temp paint though. The wd40 will have to be solvented off first

Agree with painting. They're paint made for rotors and calipers, some people use it on their Mustangs. I will never do this because of the work and time it takes plus I'm a little lazy . Let them rust because it is normal

Aftermarket powdercoated and zinc coated rotors exist. Centric makes what appears to be powdercoated rotors for our trucks.

I'd try Top Coat, F11
It's a good paint sealer; I use it & very satisfied.
Product is fairly new, it comes out of Jacksonville, Fl.

Just paint them. They don't get that hot; you'd cook the grease inside before you burn the paint off the outside.
