If so what paint kind of paint did you use? I'm getting my calipers done and figured while I was at it I might as well clean those up.

Fatboy. I Meant the inside of the rotors, the hat and backside of the rotors.
Same here. I actually coated the whole rotor - inside and out - then cut the powder coat of the friction sruface. Hats still look great but the coating ont he edge of the rotors turned color from heat.

Well I never knew it was possible to powder coat the rotors! Seeing as they are technically a throw away item, cost wise I would not have thought it was worth it! However my rotors are 2 piece and the hats are satin black. At the moment on the front I have a pair of stock rotors, these I got second hand, but they have a few thousand miles left on them. I rattle caned them satin black using high temp exhaust paint and they look fine.

Last week I went to a car dealers, they had sprayed the rotors silver on all the second hand cars and sorry to say it looked awfull. The black look is much cleaner.

I saw that some people had went red with there rotors with the calipers, but I think that might be a tad too much. Black is what I'm going to go with too. As long as it keeps the rust color down I'd rather not attract more looks to that area.

I powder'd mine as well. The finsih is impossible to chip. If you just clean and spray with rattle can paint. It will look like garbage in 1 week. Need to sandblast, then powder.

I'm thinking about getting my SRT-10 calipers powder coated. They suggested that I have them taken apart for powder coating. Has anyone done this? Is it hard to do, because I don't want to spend a fortune to have someone take out the pistons and then have them put them back in. I was quoted $45 a caliper to powder coat them. Thanks!

When I had my calipers powdercoated, I brushed my rotors gloss black, along with the emergency brake caliper too. These are the best pics I have for now...
