Title: Anyone tried these black brake discs?
Post by: nc35 on November 10, 2009, 12:10:20 pm

Hi All

Looking to replace my front discs been offered these as a black anti-rust coating.

(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi1003.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Faf153%2Fgawthorpe%2Fblackrotors.jpg&hash=353974d558774e851fc471933917a06064ec0abd)

I assume the coating wears off the breaking surface.  Just waiting for a reply from them on this.

Cheers

Lee

Spray any disc with Plasticoat BBQ paint - job done  :happy2:

It will be a cheaper form of the zinc coating that you get on the likes of S3's and wears off the disc quite quickly, but stays on the other parts to protect the disc from corrosion :smiley:
