Powder Coat rotors??

[UTAH INFANTRY]

I am looking to powder coat my wheels and wanted to know if I can do the same to my rotors.

Anyone know?

You can powder coat the rotors as long as they stay off the surface the pads uses to stop.

NO               Put the thought out of your mind and move on to other things.........................

Not until the powder coat is worn off.

I did it (black to match the bike), and as long as you have a way to remove the powder coat from the braking surface, you will be happy with the result.  The place I used, turned them just like they do when a brake shop resurfaces rotors, but they only removed the coating.

I would think that the same result could be had with hi-temp paint, for less $$ and less work.  It's been 7 - 8 years and over 50K, and they still look pretty cool.
