I put new brakes on it when we bought it at 90,000 miles or so and she ran it about 100,000 miles or so before I replaced them (I didn't type that wrong and it has almost 230,000 on it today). It got driven every day for 10-11 years, no matter the weather. I don't recall ever touching them up when I had the wheels off and they were still painted black when I replaced them a couple years ago.

I can't speak on the drilled/slotted features, though, I'm just commenting on not wanting them to rust.
Duuno, thats what I do when im not feeling lazy. I run ACdelcos tho too, not a performance slotted rotor. I use high temp header paint.
Glad you posted this I though I thought I was the only one that this was all going over my head lol.
