I think it's zinc coated so it won't rust. But it wouldn't hurt to paint it.

Glad I saw this post - I got my Brakemotive pads/rotors and was curious about what people are doing in conjunction with the install. Looks good - I went with slotted but not drilled rotors.

Could you have used high temp spray paint on the calipers? My car is pewter and I want to go with high gloss black, but I was thinking it would be easy to just tape off the area, prime then put on the final coat.

Did you change your brake fluid in conjunction with the install? I was thinking any spill fluid would pull the paint right off so I may swap out the fluid first.

I also agree with probably painting the hat, but I wonder if the clearance is so tight the paint would just scrap off or even prevent the disk from going on. Then again, with stock wheels, you really don't see the hat.
