I wasn't convinced that hi-temp paint was necessary, and this way is inexpensive enough that I don't feel bad about reapplying it in a few years if it's needed.

I painted mine all black- (looks like the CE brake system) that is until I put C5's on the front...I used high temp engine paint from the auto parts store...good for up to 1200 degrees F...I don't think the rotors or calipers get that hot...
Looks nice also...better then rust! I put thin spoke C5 rims on it...so I have LOTS of wheel space to show!
Enjoy!

I agree with you on that. I used regular old gloss black rustoleum on my calipers and rotors over two years ago and they still look great.
