Dan,
All the new Mercedes rotors come painted this way to prevent corrosion.
(W109 thru W221 in my recent experience) I've been using them for years as
is, never tried to remove it, I don't think its necessary. Its very thin
and comes right off after a few rotations of the wheel.

On Fri
The last set of disks that I got from Q were painted as well. I wiped the
paint off with a rag soaked in acetone, IIRC.

Interesting. The last set of rotors I got had something like Cosmoline on
them. Never seen this gray paint.
Jabba is good with prices. Nothing earth shattering, but if I was shopping on
prince I wouldn't be buying from him. The stuff I don't get from the
stealership is priced fairly and get
Don't forget to brake them in!

Yeah mine look like they are painted too, I recall the last disks I got
were nekkid, had some oily stuff on them. There was a paper in one box
(only one was in a box for some reason) that might shed some light on it.

replacement screws and brake paste.

On Monday I ordered a load of parts for the SDs from Jabba, one pkg
showed up in the mail yesterday, and Fedex brought 3 boxes this
morning. It all came from Kollyfawnya for some reason, so I guess Fedex
put it on a pony to get it here.
