Here's the deal. I just bought new front and rear disks for my m3. As we all know, if you don't paint the hub it will rust. Now i really like the raw metal look of new rotors and don't want to paint them a different color. I came up with the idea of spraying 4-6 coats of just clear on the metal to protect it from the elements. This way i still have to look of the raw part.

Has anyone tried this or have any thoughts about it? I was on a quest today to find a clear coat with more then a 500deg rating and failed. I did a quick search online and found this:

I think i'm going to order a can or two but i want to get a few opinions on this first before a spend $25+ on 2 cans of clear coat.
