Brembo
EBC
Mountain
Pilenga
Centric

Any of you ever try painting your rotors (not on the surface where the pads come in contact) so that it doesn't rust and get all brown?
Was considering Centric rotors to avoid painting.

It would require a high-temperature paint like a special caliper paint (epoxy, I think) or maybe just hit them with a light coat of barbecue paint (black). Dunno if that would work, but it might be better than rust. Alternatively, you could match the color of your rotors and have the car re-sprayed . . . at least it would be unique . . . and everything would match.

Here's someone that painted his rotors as you're suggesting. From the pic's it looks like he the job turned out well.

I've been reading that site for a while and those guys aren't hacks...they're affectionados alot like the good group here.
I have no experience on the rotors you posted, but if it were me, I'd go with the best rotors for your vehicle first and paint them for looks.
