Bought drilled rotors about a month ago for my 04 TL but already noticed significant amount of rust in the middle section..

Can this be removed and painted black ????

Sure can. Hit it with some steel wool, then add a rust preventative, or just spray with some high temp flat paint. Just don't get any on rotor face. If you do, just clean off with brake clean on a cloth.

 

I did..love em. I used a Q-Tip and High temp black BBQ Rustoleum from Lowe's I didn't paint the center hub of the rotors. Left side before right side after (glossy paint is still wet - dried flat)

 

Caliper paint works great on the hats like that. PlastiKote
