Rear Brake Discs

[Zedebee]

I have often wondered about brake disc “coating”. Doesn’t it just come off when you apply the brakes, or is it to protect the non-braking surface?

It’s to protect the unswept surface.

Ah, thank you Rob. I suppose you could apply a coat of lacquer to the same effect.

I had the current discs painted. Looks way better than these coated discs!

I have painted a few disc hubs and outer edges with smooth Hammerite. It has always worked well and lasts a long time. Maybe we are not very aggressive with our braking in our house, as I was expecting the paint to burn off but it never has.
I paint brake calipers with Hammerite aswell. That works a treat.

Not much smaller than mine, but the price is quite steep
