Brake Rotors Changed Color

Hi,

I changed my brake rotors and brake pads today. I am using EBC brake rotors and EBC Redstuff. The rotors before the first use were the color Gold. However, after I drove the car today and started braking I checked the brake rotors and now they look silver. Is this normal after installing new brake rotors and brake pads?

Thank you

The gold color is probably just a coating that you wore off when you used the brakes.

Libert69,
