Centric, Wagner, and Powerstop *do* coat the inside hat
EBC is good, though. DBA is really expensive
I do believe you are incorrect about the bolded part. I've got a pair of the Raybestos R300's sitting in front of me right now and the insides of the hats are certainly coated. They're not black painted like the outside of the hats, but other than the black painted exteriors of the hats, every other inch on both rotors, inside, outside, vented section.....are coated, including the inside of the hats. In fact, I'd wager the rotors are coated, prob. zinc, first then the hat painted black. Can provide pics if that would help.
Really only bought them because they were dirt cheap on Amazon at the time...notably cheaper than RA. Been sitting in their boxes for about a year. There when I need them. LOL.
