Rotor plating...gearing up for the winter projects>>> - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

This winter's projects will be brakes and the plenum removal to replace injectors, coils and various pieces of plumbing. The brake rotors... wanted to go back to OEM rotors (I put on EBC sport rotors and while OK the look stands out too much for my tastes) but also wanted to kill the rotor rust issue. The plater I have been using (Specialized Plating in CA) got nailed by the CA EPA folks so I began looking. Found a very good company... better pricing, hell lot closer to me than CA and nice work

. Georgia Plating and here are the OEM rotors back from them>>

Rear set

and the front set... cooling veins nicely finished

They also do zinc black and chromium plating and electro plating in various colors...

Looks nice! I'm guessing those are new rotors by the crosshatching on the friction surfaces? What are the two extra holes for?

What is the plating material?

Wow...

Those look great!@!!

Another winter project could be Gordon Killebrew?

Yes... new rotors and extra holes??? No idea

The finish is zinc clear/bright finish...of course the finish on the rotor to pad contact area will be removed but rest of rotor will remain plated

And YES Gordon K...but looks like there will only be a few of us going at whatever date is established...look foward to it
