What do you mean by black rotors exactly? Are you referring to the face of the rotor is painted black because it will just come off after you drive 10 feet

Sorry to burst your bubble but there is no such thing as black metal.

Never heard of Black Rotors, but you can get Black Calipers, that should last.

Those Rotors with the Black at the hub are completely pointless, I mean, once the wheel is attached, you would be be able to see the black part...

Yes, i know that black rotor. Finish will disappear on the friction surface. It is just a black zinc coating and the hat and the edge of the rotor will stay coated though since the pad doesn't come in contact with them. I know two place where i can found out the black rotor. And these are: moderncamaro.com, porterfield-brakes.com

EBC slotted and dimpled rotors have a black zinc coating and it holds up well in the slots, dimples and on the hub face...

I have had them on my Impala for a good while and am very happy with them....

might want to check them out.

yes, but I don;t think you can get all black rotors that stay all black after you drive on them.

Yup it is blank zinc coating/plating. The EBC rotors we carry are actuall "black" and not gold as shown in the photos.
