Default Painting rear rotor hats

My calipers look great (red), just wondering if anyone has painted the rotor hats on the rear mine look like crap (gray and specs of rust) and if you did what color did you use.

Personally, I would not do that man. Get new rotors with colored hats like Eradispeeds. Painted hats just on the back would look fruity and ricy. Just my opinion, but I guess if you wanted to do it, high temp engine paint like on calipers is your best bet.

I would paint them cast iron grey. It is an available high temp engine paint color.

I definitely would not do any type of color.

My second option would be black and my third silver.

I was thinking along the lines of a primer gray type color.

Mine are flat black... I hate that "rust" look.
