I got my Balo rotors in today and I don't think I can use them. I got both of these from Pelicans and I didn't see a coated version for the rear rotors so I got uncoated thinking I can just paint the hat and it will be ok.

WRONG.

The color of the Balo coated and un-coated version is hugely different. The coated version is the lighter color ( although I think the uncoated version looks better ).

Does anyone know where I can buy coated Balos for the rear ?

I wouldn't recommend a water-based degreaser or soaking them.

Use Brakleen and do them twice to be sure you get all the wax/grease/cosmolene off them before installing.

Cheers!
