Anyone have the aftermarket rotors that are plated and have been through 1 or 2 winters yet?
I'm wondering if the plating will last longer than my 3 coats of high temp paint and 2 coats of clear coating.

If not, then I will be sandbasting them and painting again.

I'm not really sure about that, stock rotors were great during rain/snow. I have some other rotors now and they completely rust over night. First 5 minutes of driving are terrible because of the awful grinding noise...

 

I have the plated brembo's a little over a year now and the plating is holding up perfectly. No rust, no corrosion, just nice clean hubs.

 

Ha, if they hold up in our winters, then they've proven themselves... I'll let you know at the end of this winter how they withstand our winter (Ottawa Ont)... I've heard nothing but good things so far, plating is a must with aftermarket wheels as the hub shows through the wheels
