Default Painting Rotor's Center...

I just ordered Project Mu 2 piece rotors. There is one thing that realy bothers me about them. The center is a ugly blue/green and will not match my car or anyones car for that matter. I would like to just paint them black but need assistance on the proper steps.

I know I need high temp paint but how high? 800 deg 1200 deg? How do I prep the rotors for painting? I know I need to mask off everything very well but do I have to strip the paint all the way to bare metal? Or should I just skuff it up pretty good? Should I use a primer?

Any help would be greatly appricated. Thanx in advance!

i had the same thing with my rotors. I got some caliper paint at Walmart for $15. (comes with brake cleaner paint and brush) . I did four or five coats and it came out looking great

Actually you might consider powder coating for durability.

Same here. Works great. Still glossy after several yrs exposure.
