Default Why do my rotors look like this?

Ok so I got new calipers and had my rotors machined. And before I had them machined they looked perfectly normal. Well its been one day since they've been on and this is what they now look like. ....

Now compare that to the passenger side( sorry bad lighting)

Why would they turn into that only 1 day later??? Before I machined them they wherent even that bad! Basically they looked like the second picture I posted.


Thanks

Looks like the caliper may not be floating freely. Did you install new brake pads or reuse the old ones?

your brake pads are probably shot or missing... I know my 01 f250 lost one of its pads and it was scrapping and damaged the rotor just like what your look like...

New pads came with calipers. I went an hour south for memorial weekend and it looks almost like the other almost now as if they just had to be coated with the brake pad material.
