Definately paint them! Get as close to body color as you can, and it will look awesome! I'm planning on doing mine next season. :jester

I painted mine with Red Devil Red Polyurethane. Hi-temp isn't really needed. Wife thinks they look like little kidneys!

Red73---are those slotted rotors?

Painted mine Chevy engine orange ( kinda looks more red than anything ) they look good five years later. Engine enamel is good because it's high heat :D
