Question Does anyone make a powder coated standard rotor?

2011, F250, 6.2, 4WD;
I have been searching for a front and rear rotor with anti-corrosion or corrosion resistant coatings. I have not located anything yet. Hawk doesn't make them. I don't want drilled or slotted just standard flat surface rotors with some sort of coating to prevent the massive scaling observed in the vent area and on non contact surfaces.
Anyone found such an animal?

You could have someone powder coat a new set. Just mask the wear and mounting surfaces and let the powder coat coat the inards. Certainly the heat of baking powder coat won't hurt anything since the rotors get a lot hotter in normal use. The same would apply to other coatings and you could pretty readily pour a high temp paint (Dura-Heat perhaps) in and let it cover completely.

I'm pretty sure powdercoat will melt right off a rotor. EBC makes black coated rotors- I had them on my 4runner. The pads rub off the working surface, but the coating keep the rest from rusting.

Black geo-met coated OEM rotors: Premium Brake Rotors by EBC Brakes

Slotted USR coated: USR Slotted Rotors - EBC Brakes

Here's their catalog page: http://ebcbrakes.com/Assets/ecatalog...gue.html#p=202

For your truck you need:

front- rotor 7321 and rear rotor 7319
Available in USR, GD, and USR rotors types.

Your welcome :-)

You might want to read this thread.. Pay special attention to the part about converting forward momentum into heat energy and the ability of the rotor to shed that heat:

There are places that cadmium plate rotors which will prevent some of the scaling youare talking about, but they still reduce the ability to shed that heat..
Not trying to be a naysayer or safety cop here - just trying to help... I learned the hard way about rotors when I painted the vane area on my 69 Corvette about 40 years ago..

Hey, someone else who knows that the drilled and slotted fad is only for looks!

The more pad contact area you have, the more friction you have.

Nothing but good blank rotors for this guy and a good pad compound

Unfortunately there isn't many coatings can survive a long period of time on a rotor. Constant heat cycles, water, sand, snow etc make it short lived.

Most powder coatings are baked on at around 375f and start to degrade at temps over 500f. A good romp on the brakes can easily send the rotor temps past 500f.
