I don't know anything about rotors that come in any color but silver like some of the painted ones referred to around here. But locally, due to harsh and severe winter conditions, most of my friends and I will do pads in the spring no matter what. By then the salt and moisture will have all the non-contact rotor surfaces pretty evenly rusted.

Edit: Just went out front and took a picture: this is after about 5k miles: nothing to see here, move along. (which is the whole point of black)
oh, though you do the entire thing as per link in prev messages that was posted by someone lol. Kudos to you, if you are doing yearly touch ups to keep it nice then for sure it beats the rusty version of it
