Just FYI, when you post pics from imagestation, the address looks like this

http://www.imagestation.com/pi...g.jpg

you have to delete the .orig.jpg from the end of the address.

I like zinc as a dietary supplement, but never thought about it in regard to calipers. I like it, looks good. Tell us more about how it's done.

Well basicaly i used to work for SURESTOP and we had a company that does ZINC coating for use and i had a set of new Teg calipers for my CRX so i was like WTF stripped them then glass beaded the out side of the caliper .

They dipped them 4 times for strenght they came out i resealed them with new HONDA seals and bahm there we go its been like that for 3 years does not fade off .

Im going to be doing my ITR calipers for my el in a few weeks ill try to get some more pics.

It cost me like $20 bucks.

Nice dude, thanks. I gotta get another set of calipers or wait 'til there isn't a foot of snow on the ground first. 20 bucks is a great price. I have AEM rotors as well; they look great on the coffee table. Here's somthing I've been wondering about: How to keep the outer edge from rusting. I know paint will last about 30 seconds, and I was thinking of some sort of plating, but the whole rotor would have to be dipped. Any thoughts?

The rust wears off when you drive. Or are
you talking about the center part of the rotor?
I painted mine with bbq paint, it kept them
black, instead of poopy brown.

What does the Zinc plating do for the calipers? Just wondering because I don't know.
