Default painted rotor hats

There was a vendor that sells painted rotor covers. Does anyone know which vendor is selling them? Does anyone have pics?

You should paint them yourself... its easy! I used VHT High-Temp Silver on my rotors. It takes a couple hours, unbolt the caliper assembly, tape off the surrounding parts, hit the metal with a light sanding pad, and make sure you fully cover the car with a big disposable drop cloth.

No more rusty-azz rotors!

Check with Ecklers. They are rather expensive - you can try to paint the hats yourself and save a bundle.

A $7 can of VHT caliper and brake paint worked fine for me!
