Can I safetly paint my Brembo front rotor hats?
Hi, there. Has any one successfully painted Brembo front rotor hats? The center section. I have the 14" rotors in front. I want to paint the hats matt-black. But I don't know if the paint can withstand the heat. Has any one done this? If so, which brand of paint will stay on there well?

Thanks, guys. I read on a Corvette forum that prep work with brake cleaner, paint thinner, and acetone is good. And Duplicolor brand heat paint is good.

I used VHT black caliper paint on the rotors and calipers. Taped off the faces, shot the hats and the edges of the rotors.
Still lookin' good after a year or so now. In case that helps.
Just did the instructions on the calipers, btw, just shot it with VHT brake cleaner, little plastic brush to scrub it a little, shot it again, wiped it down with them blue shop rags, then shot the caliper. Turned out great, I think!
