Default Rotor Paint

I just got my new Brembo cross drilled rotors and wanted to know about painting them to match my Z06 Calipers. Which area do i get painted, I think its called the hat? What shop would i see about getting this done, and about how much will it cost?
Thanks,
Joe

Will rotors withstand the use? I didn't think you could.

I did it a couple of weeks ago. I had rotors that weren't zinc washed and they started to rust at the hats. I was painting my calipers at the same time so I just did the rotors..a few hundred miles anyway and they are none the worse for wear. I looks a lot better than the rust did!

Not the rotors, just the hats. Any high temp paint will do.

My apologies, I misread your post. There was a member awhile back who high temp spray paint from a local hardware store, he ended up mixing the colors and finally settled with a dark green color that he liked. He also found other colors, but I have no clue why he picked the dark green.
