Default Are Sebro rotor hats painted/coated?

As the title says, the online pics of these appear to make them look painted or coated in a light gray color. Can anyone with experience with them comment?

I bought a set from AutohausAZ back in June and they had the gray paint. The fronts were a different shade than the rears. It appeared to be a automotive type primer. I painted the part of the hat that's visible silver and it seems to be holding up fine so far.

The Sebro rotors I’ve purchased have all had (grey) painted hats.

Sebro's rotor hats are painted/primed but my case rusted immediately. Nothing wrong with their rotors but I would suggest painting them with something rust proof before installing them.

Good to know. I ended up ordering a different brand and they are zinc coated in black. Not sure if I should go ahead and get them painted or not...

Rust proof yes. High heat absolutely - IE Caliper paint.

I always suggest using a wheel cleaner that includes rust inhibitors which significantly helps to reduce any rust forming on the rotor hats. My go to is P&S Brake Buster. I replaced the front rotors in June of last year and this is what they look like today.
