Default painting rotors?

What color is everyone painting their rotors? Any ideas? If I buy new brembo blanks I was thinking about using some high temp clear from eastwood to keep them looking new.

Uhh... is it just me, or would any kind of paint you put on the rotors burn off almost instantly?

I meant the hub part. Some people call it the hat.

Painted mine black. I didnt want something that was going to pop out...just something very subtle. I just used a 1200 degree engine paint for it. Its only been a few weeks but its holding up well so far.

I was thinking about some kind of grey that would look like it did originally. I don't know though black maybe.

I painted mine silver, and it looks descent in my opinion. My calipers are red now, but still looks sexy. Be sure to paint the outer edge of the rotors too. They tend to rust out along the outer edge and look like crap.
