Sounds like a good plan. Plastidip is surely higher friction than iron, and everyone hates rust. I suspect wear will be a bit higher than he expects though, and heat may be a problem as well.

First time braking: “Why am I not stopping?”; and, “What is that smell?”

Second time braking: “Why are my wheels on fire?”

EBC, huh? *starts googling*

A-HA! So this WAS staged! EBC puts what’s called a “black thermic oxide” coating on their rotors . Huh. Never heard of that before.

I don’t know many people who would fall for this. I’m sure there are some that will question it, but none that would try it.

A better troll would have been to plastidip an old rotor right before a pad/rotor replacement, put it on the car, run it on the jackstands with the old pads to wear off the plastidip, then take photos and post them to justroleldintotheshop.

Lots of coated rotors out there. Usually wears off the face where the pad hits pretty quickly but keeps the hat and edges rust free. I had a friend who liked the look while it was wearing in and would go to a local shop who would re-coat them every month or two for like 10 bucks a corner.

Neat! I might have to look into that. $10 sounds like a hell of a deal. I like the notion of keeping the hats and edges looking nice; I suppose it also eliminates all that flaking inside the fins, too.
