I wouldn't suggest painting your rotors. Your braking will suffer.

Now, your calipers are a different story, as are your hubs. You really can't see the hubs, but painting them with a rust proof paint is a good idea if you have humidity in your area.

Calipers....black.

Matching blue would be cool on your car I think.

Don't do it. When you paint them they lose their ability to disperse heat and after time will burn up the piston cup seal and lock up. Get them powdercoated.
