Did you take them off to paint them or just a lot of masking tape?

i wrapped the rotor with a plastic bag fro grocery store, then taped off what i needed to. i painted everything red first, then after it dried, taped the edges and then did the black. you probably can't see it but i also did the center of the rotor in black too.
