I am not going to disagree that yellow is a bad choice but most of it will wear off in the first mile so I don't see what the issue is.

I love it.

The yellow is because on a red light, the yellow means "be prepared to stop."

It may ruin the pads. Who knows.. we'll see. If it doesn't chip off, it may stick to the pads. depends what he put on those rotors.

I bet at some point he will take the wheels off and stupidly wonder why the paint came off the rotors.

i think more of the fail is due to the fact that he has them on an older gen vette that has the pie face wheels that cover up all the brakes... so why paint them...

I've heard about people spraying the entire thing before. If the paint can handle the temp it should hold and just the ring where the pad touches will rub off...

It's still stupid but it could potentially be fine :/

If a body kit with a bad paint job can make you car go faster, then a bad paint job on your rotors can make your brakes faster too.

I think he should use black spray paint to tint his windows. That would look cool.

What I think is more fail than the yellow paint is he has the damn things sitting on his kitchen countertop. So, I guess hi-temp enamel smell is good for your cooking and overall health.
