Default 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.

Why would you want to hide a beautiful rotor? Seems like a waste.

The black (or any color) wears off as soon as you use your brakes. I emailed that same company about them.

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

I think it would look sharp, post some pictures if you decide to do it.

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.

I've only seen one car with them and I didn't like the looks of them. Go here:
