Hey guys,

Just noticed some spotted yellow paint on my front brake rotors.

My first assumption was that this is the brake pads telling me they're down to a certain amount of tread & will need replacing soon.

Am I correct? Or is this something else?

Cheers.

Can't tell from pic but looks like surface rust. If so perfectly normal if your discs have been in contact with moisture. After a quick drive will disappear

Is it the first time you see Rust. Seems the car has been sitting for a while. Drive it for a while and will be bling bling

Not trolling, didn't know what it was. Legit.

And notice I put the word "paint" in quotations as I didn't know how else to describe it.

Yes I have seen rust, but not on any rotors, nor have I seen it 'splattered' like that.

They say the only stupid question is the question that has not been asked. So I asked. Now I know. Cheers to all who helped.
