Mine are cadium plated and I certainly can't tell where there is any difference between the braking surface and the outer edge. It also does not rust anywhere???TomsMR2 said:yes.
you obviously dont want to paint the friction surface.. but you wouldnt want to plate or coat it either. the only thing you can rust protect is the hat (center piece) and outer circumferance.
I did this to my project '87. I don't know how it'll hold up yet, but i expect it to last a while--it's marine polyurethane.TomsMR2 said:yes.

Everything else was cleaned up and painted in either Epoxy Spray Paint for appliances (glossy) or else POR-15 chassis paint (matte).

Did you mask off the friction surface, or just paint the whole thing and then let the brakes wear the paint off of the friction area? It doesnt seem like there would be any problem with doing this, but I'm not sure.WIWhite87 said:I did this to my project '87.

why dont you call some places and find out?I still feel like my question has not been answered. Is zinc plating expensive?
Neither. I painted it exactly as you see it--no masking, no wearing off. I'm very neat.WyrmMaster said:Did you mask off the friction surface, or just paint the whole thing and then let the brakes wear the paint off of the friction area?
