    For those that think the discs are the wrong way round more internet garbage. They are not handed. I've seen it said about the swirls but in reality, it doesn't matter. The only thing that is handed on brake vented discs is the cooling vanes in between the vented discs bud. Not the external patterning. It makes no difference. If the vented discs are swirled, it makes a difference. If they are straight cut, it makes no difference. Its just like when tyre fitters don't line up the dots on the tyers with the tyre valves, certain people say the tyres are not fitted properly. In the real world it makes no difference.
    Copperslip has been around in the motor trade for decades and I've used it for over 40 years and have never seen anything destroyed by it. All internet hearsay from armchair experts just get repeated in my opinion through my own experience using common sense.

    Quote from google: all brembo slotted discs are directional, regardless of the vanes geometry. The discs should be installed such that the end of the slot nearest the outer edge of the disc contacts the pad first.

      I wouldn't want you to damage your car trying but if its only on the surface, we might sand it wit 2000 grit wet and dry paper with plenty of soapy water and then it would need buffing up again with a compound and then a polish. Don't attempt if you are unsure as you could burn through the lacquer and then you'll need to have the whole area painted.
