I mean cryo is for hardening the material, Zinc plating create a barrier against rust, but once the pad start to generate friction on the surface of the rotor the Zinc plating get removed, so basically the Zinc plating is to protectl the surface that doesn't get in contact with the pad. Let me guess, cryo first and plating after.
