Most people paint their rotors before putting them on. But the climate that you live in doesn't help the rusting part.

If you decide to paint them, take them off and spray the entire rotor. The brake pads will get off all the paint where it makes contact.

I have been wondering about painting them. The paint doesn't cause any issues with the pads?

Just some high temp paint

That's what I did on my TBSS and they're still black along the veins.
