Disc Brake Finish

There are 4 basic finishes on your disc brake Hub/Rotor & Caliper.

Because RV's tend to sit idle for longer periods of time, and E-coat is minimum protection, Dacromet is preferred.

The standard automotive finish offers the least
protection (i.e. during a standard salt spray test,
rust will begin forming in less than 10 hours).

E-coating offers the best value of protection for
over the road use and for fresh water marine
(or limited salt water) applications (i.e. during
a standard salt water spray test, rust will begin
forming between 250 and 350 hours).

Dacromet coating offers the best value of
protection for salt water applications (i.e.
during a standard salt spray test, rust will
begin forming between 300 and 400 hours).

All stainless steel offers the ultimate corrosion
protection in salt water marine applications (zero
adverse effects due to salt water corrosion).
