Zinc Coating

**Halon** · 11-03-2012

Anyone ever had anything zinc coated locally before? I'm looking at picking up a new set of rotors (all 4) for the SC300. I'd like to run zinc coated ones, but everything for sale that is zinc coated and affordable is drilled/slotted, and I'd rather just run blank rotors.

So wondering if anyone has any local places they'd recommend that are affordable and take walk in small orders if I just went to Napa and bought some regular blanks and brought them in for coating. If there's nothing local/affordable, then I guess I'll just end up running some aftermarket slotted ones.

Last pair I bought lasted about 2 months before the coating was 95% gone. Don't bend over backwards for it IMHO.

Just get some carbon/ceramic composite ones, OBVIOUSLY. :0

Centric 120 or 125 (not the 121 CTEK) blanks; high quality rotors with a black coating on the hub and internal vanes. Their coating holds up very well unlike traditional zinc coatings on rotors. TireRack and MAP sell them. I had a set on my Evo IX. These are the blanks that Stoptech and Powerslot use to make their slotted/drilled rotors.
