Are there rotors that don't rust up on the hats and edges? I know some brands are coated to help prevent rust, but it seems that only helps for so long.

 

I know some porches use a speical type of eaither ceramic or metalic or something for their rotors to resist heat..

But a brake job cost $25k

 

i think theres a certain kind of metal that some manufacturers use on thier rotors that arent supposed to rust, but i cant think of the name....the cheapest way would just be to paint those parts so they dont rust.

 

cf rotors...

many iron rotors are plated in cadmium so they dont rust til you use them.

maybe it's zinc. If painted would the rust return?

the paint would come off, theres lots of force and friction on your rotors.
