I replaced the factory rotors with Sportbrakes D/S rotors almost two years ago. Before installing the new rotors I masked off the firepath and sprayed two coats of clearcoat on each rotor hat. No issues to date. I simply wash off the hats when I wash the wheels. The zink coating did wear off on the firepath after a few months, causing some rust when I wash the Vette. One trip around the block and all of the rust is gone.

I went cheap-econo with Corvette Garage Sport Rotor Package ($399 for all 4). These are nice, zinc plated and don’t rust. I wouldn’t take these racing, but if you’re looking for clean rotors, these aren’t bad.

I also painted the brake caliper brackets and added the stainless steel brake pad covers to cover the black pads. This setup had almost 2K on it when I took the photo. Not hard to keep clean with a daily dusting after cooling with a micro fiber towel. Good luck on what ever you decide on.
