Do you mean the calipers?you can do that yourself.Pull them off and paint them,you can even powder coat them in candy colors,if you have an oven in your garage.
Like somebody else said,paint on rotors will last through 1 traffic light.

Why the hell would you paint your rotors?

Those are going to look great, all covered with brake pad dust and mud.

I can respect attention to detail,but it does seem to be misplaced on rotors,painting the old brake drums was ok,because the dust stayed inside.

Just remember to rub some high temp grease on the rotors to protect the paint

Holy shite is this 2001? I bet you want them painted lime green. Audi RS7's come with Red painted calipers. Anybody who knows anything buys crio rotors and paints their calipers the color they want on a truck.

not sure how the paint is expected to stay on

I assume he meant calipers.
I personally wouldn't take the time to take them off clean them, paint them and the trouble to put them back on. The last set of calipers I replaced came from the factory as red.

You think I can buy them already painted?

If you don't want to remove them, G-2 makes a very nice caliper painting kit. It comes in s few colors, and uses a brush on system. You just mask off the areas you don't want painted (I use a plastic bag over the rotor so I can roll it through the caliper) and brush in the two-part system.
I've used it several times with great success. Much easier than removing them and seems to last a while.

At first I thought you were painting John Calipari's truck

rotors? ....
for the Calipers, degreaser, primer, proper paint, plus masking tape etc and proper drying time allowed

I did mean calipers, not rotors. Thanks for all the feedback everyone.
I deserve the downvotes for not even knowing the proper terms to use. Lol
