    Rotors???

    Do you mean calipers?

    I don't think that any of the rotor shows except for the wear surfaces & paint/powder coat will last maybe ... a mile on those surfaces.

    I don't have experience with it but from what I've heard, be careful if you're going to do the powdercoat to avoid the wear areas, as it can gum up the pads. Paint on the other hand (so I've heard) doesn't.

    I dont think he means "painting the friction surfaces". Like attilla's pic, I think he means the hub dome and perhaps around the outer surface of the rotor. Actually painting the rotor friction surface.... just throw those things out (or buy a Honda and call it a day).
