Pewter- 2001 Camaro Z28 M6
I have owned painted rotors before for my car and bike.
EBC performance rotors come with a black zinc coat for both cars and bikes. they are a great rotor. The coating comes off the suface pad, but stays on that hat, and looks good.
The rotors posted here, is are fucking wrong.. if your going to paint them, paint only the hat and the veins, not surface area.. .. not yellow either!Last edited by ibanez7; 06-17-2009 at 04:25 PM.

I saw a Mustang in a car museum years ago that had a completely chromed undercarriage including all suspension parts. Included were the disks. One look told me it had never been driven since the day it was put together. I kind of wondered what the point was.

Ive painted a set before. All you do is use your old pads to remove where the brakes "ride" then swap on your new set of pads it leaves the hat and area around painted so it doesnt rust. It doesnt really affect your braking very much if any, just dont go out and fly up on someone then slam on the brakes and she will stop just fine.

Are you talkin to me?
If you are talking to me the interior is all black. If you want a good look & some background on the car please see my new member introduction "Salutations from Sunny South Florida". The color coded interior is a little too boy tuner for my tastes. I like the monochromatic interior it looks a lot more business.
Sorry to hijack the thread. Please continue cracking on this rotor painting simple person. They deserve it!

WoW
You are a brave person.
Why go through the time, expense, labor & materials for that. Why not just utilize implements such as tape, paper & a razor blade so as to avoid all that aggravation? Not to mention getting a more "professional" appearance & not being perpetually ragged on by posters on LS1.com!
Don't be giving me any guff over this response or the truly sensible will start posting about YOU.

LOL! Why would someone take the time to paint rotors that cant be seen? Maybe when they park they set it on jack-stands, and pull the wheels.
Cause you sure as hell cant see the rotors on vettes with those wheels anyway.Last edited by Smittro; 06-19-2009 at 05:31 AM.

Scalpel
If you wanna get real tricky you can go the extra mile & utilize an "exacto knife". I don't have to explain the principal of placing the tape over the edge of the curve & then cut off the over run to match said curve do I? If I do then I am outta here!
Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to go shove an Endoscope into my combustion chamber.
