If you paint your rotors,you will not stop.On the other hand if you paint the outside of the calipers,that could look sharp. The calipers hold the pistons that put pressure on the rotors to stop when you pull on the brake lever. Please do not paint your rotors.

Powder coating the centers would probably last longer..

And who thought of painting the whole rotor? Lol. Even assuming that is silly.
