So I decided to get some brakemotive rotors. So far so good. I ordered on a Wednesday morning and received by Friday afternoon. I was looking for rotors with the center hub painted, but since brakemotive doesn't have that option, I decided to paint them myself. This is what I got so far, let me know what you guys think.

Looks like you did a great job! I've done the same thing, as the rotors will rust over time and look unsitely. Good idea to paint them when you received them. It's much easier that way.

Search "Brakemotive" and you will see their main thread. It will contain a phone # to contact them. I called them and got a set for my IS300. Arrived in about 3 days and they looks and work great! x2 for brakemotive!

Good choice on the rotors. I've had these on my car for more than a year now, and they are great. And no rusting either.

I've also used caliper paint. Put about 3 or 4 coats using a brush.
