Metal Coating?? Want to prevent corrosion on new rotors

Steve B. · 03-01-2020, 05:58 AM

Do you guys know of any coating that I can apply to my new OEM rotor hats/hubs that will protect them from corrosion?

There is nothing worse than looking down at your expensive HREs and see these great brakes behind them, only to have your eyes go directly to a corroded rotor hat/hub.

You can get the hats painted black with a high temp resistant paint. Had this done on the brembo's on my last car and it held up great. Just don't use any acidic wheel cleaner when cleaning your wheels
