Pictures of black zinc rotors I am thinking of putting black zinc drilled/slotted rotors on my firehawk. I think the black will look good on my black car with chrome wheels. Want to see pics of these on a car. I know the zinc will wear off on the pad surface.

Yeah the part where the pad touches will wear off but the hat will still have the color.

I have their rotors. They work fine but the coating comes off pretty much on your first drive. I think once you get going with the rest of the rotor being black its gonna pretty much look like you never bothered to clean your rotors.
