Hey guys,
This thread may be repetitive, but I've searched endlessly and cannot find what I'm looking for.
I recently bought new cross drilled and slotted rotors for my cobra brakes and, like many, I plan on painting the hats and outside edges to prevent rust and corrosion.
However, the rear rotors (ordered from the same company) are zinc plated, while the front are not.
I want to paint the front to keep them from rusting on non-contact areas, but would like the rear to match.
Have also heard the coating doesn't last very long...
Does anyone have any experience with painting over zinc plating?
I'm assuming I will have to etch the plating with scotch-brite then prime and paint, but I wanted to see if anyone else had done so before.
Thanks in advance!
