The rotors will look a lot nicer if you have ...

Rust

Hi,

Don't worry about it. The best thing what I used to do when I change my oil and the car is lefted I paint my exhaust with many coats of high temp spary cans that you can find in shops
that sells nail, paint..etc. So everytime I change the oil I give it a few coats, and that worked real good.
