    No-no-no! LOL You could...yes...but why?

    Currently, I am working on setting myself up to offering a recoating of these rotors. Or, if your a Supercoupe guy, and WANT coating...can do that do. Not just any "coating" an AFFORDABLE coating. Found a shop in Missouri that can do them, but he wants $350.00 each. If I send the rotors, removed from the assembly, already blasted ready for coating only, he wants $330.00 for a set of 2. Even if I sent him around 25 sets of rotors, and drove them up there myself, no quantity discount.

    So...working on that myself, as you have guessed. Thats outrageous. Also He doesn't even do the coating him self...he send it to another shop to have that done. I wonder if he even rebalanced these once they were back together. I'm in cahoots with a shop that can balance them no problem...just need to make them a jig to hold them, yet gain access to the back side of the rotors to remove material to do the deed while they can be spun at 10K RPM's.
