I've painted my breaking discs with hammerite to make then look like pic related. I wanted to prevent corrosion.
I drove the car today and after some harsh breaking-maneuvers there was blue smoke comming from all 4 wheels

that would be material burning off

>breaking discs

the rotors heat up and they'll burn the oily residue off of the paint. just hoon it around, doing a lot of fast braking and it should be fine

Unlike pic related I didn't paint the area where the rim is pressed against the disc, but I painted my callipers and brackets as well.

Everyone here swears on Hammerit and refrains from buying Foliatec stuff cause it's jew priced.

The pads must not get greasy or oily because they will soak it up and you won't get rid of it anymore. What about lacquer?

Why? If anything you're only supposed to use anti seize to keep the hat from rust welding to the hub

Brake dust and corrosion are not the same

>blue smoke
DORITO? Or 300k mile civic with a blown headgasket?

Doing so will put increased strain on the bolts.

I've cleaned the hat and hub with a wire brush and the bolts with a cloth and brake cleaner.

I know, the paint was supposed to serve both purposes.

This was before painting.

Normal hammerite is not very heat-resistant, and as such what is happening is the paint burning up and flaking off
