Brake Backing Plate Coating

Just got done bead blasting a couple of backing plates and powder coating the exposed side of them.

Not sure what to do with the inside surface to keep it from rusting, powder coating a wear surface doesn't seem practical. What do you guys do?

I just bought a pair of used ones that had been powder coated by a prior owner (both sides). I dont see a problem with that & the only wear areas that could make dust (I would assume) would be the (6) pad contact areas and the anchor pin at the top & I think that'd be minimal. You have access to PC & I'd go ahead & do the inside also

Maybe get em ceramic coated? The only problem would be the heat they hold in if you are getting em hot.

I powder coated my rear backing plates over 10 years ago.
Just changed the pads recently and no wear what so ever on the contact points.
