Zinc Coated Brake Rotors

As brake rotors are made of iron they naturally rust and when exposed to minerals such as salt the rusting oxidization tends to speed up.

Zinc coated brake rotors.

Numerous industries now actually make use of zinc electroplating in order to further enhance the potential of their products. Brake rotors are regularly exposed to water salt and other corrosive elements. The final result is a thick protective coating that will help prevent rusting and give you a great custom look.
