Looking at various coated rotors. Mainly the geomet silver type of coating, as I’ve experienced it seem to last quite long on my customers cars (but this was mopar oe stuff).
any experience with how aftermarket coated rotors hold up? Specifically;
power stop smooth rotors (geospec)
R1 concepts smooth rotors
EBC RK smooth rotors (black)
Centric
ideally even if I buy one of the silver geospec rotors, I’d paint them black as I think even the silver geospec finish wears off in a couple years. Bonus that the EBC rotors are already black…but will it really hold up? Hard to tell. And I’m pretty sure I put centric on my sienna. They work fine but definitely aren’t black anymore (the hat area). It’s not like they’re falling apart, just cosmetically ugly.
I had painted my race car’s brembo blank rotors black and it held up perfectly in situations that it shouldn’t (I had time on my hands then, so it was washed weekly, and raced at the drag strip weekly as well, giving me a hard time braking it) but the black paint lasted.
