Did you paint the entire rotor without taping off the braking surface?

Yup! The grooves would get rusty as well so I had to paint those too.

After you send me the link, can you send me a slap in the face via mail bc I just bought a complete set of oem rotors 5k miles ago when I couldn't find rotors like these.
