If your talking about the center section that pads don't touch then yes you should do it because it looks good and helps with the rust look. If your talking where the pad hits the rotor then obviously no because the pads will take it right off almost instantly and you will have crap all over your wheels.

The last rotors I bought were zinc coated......damn things still look brand new after 4-5 years.

Well I've seen people coat the whole thing, then let the pads grind it off on the braking surface, so you have a coating over the whole surface

Why would you put anything where the pad needs to bite? I would think that would seriously jack up your braking ability.

Just paint them..
Not worth the time or money to powdercoat the stockers..
imho

Whoa....puttin words in my mouth guys....
Here was my plan, buy aftermarkets, powder coat them, install, drove around the block to grind it down to clean off the braking surface. Then replace the pads.
I figured doing that would get me a perfect edge so that I'd never have any rust

I don't think that the powdercoat would grind off that quick nor would you be able to stop that well.

you will be able to stop just fine and the pads would be just fine too all you would get is shit all over your wheels.

So it miraculously grinds off the powdercoat ,a notoriously strong coating, with the brake pads and it won't get stuck in the pad but it will get all over the wheels? Hell, the anti-rust coating on new rotors will affect braking if you don't clean it off.
