I just painted mine red with the VHT caliper paint & some high temp clear coat. Worked great. I just brushed them & scrubed them with brake cleaner & let dry. Then applied some primer, paint & clear coat.

If you want just a normal color (black, red, blue or something) just go with the paint. But if you want something crazy I would get it powercoated. If you paint them make sure to paint the inside of the rotors to where its all rusted. Makes it look alot better.

Remember if you powdercoat them they need to be completely disassembled first.
