What happens if you get paint on your brake rotors?
Paint on some surfaces can cause the caliper to seize. DON’T paint the areas of the rotor/disc that make contact with the pads. Paint contains components that can contaminate the brake pad and change the friction levels. This contamination can stick around long after the rotors looks like it is nice and shiny.
Can you use caliper paint on rotors?
Since you apply the paint with a brush, you don’t need to remove the calipers from the vehicle. It’s also ideal for rotors and drums. The paint dries to the touch in 30 minutes and can be handled in one hour.
Can caliper paint be removed?

How do you remove spray paint from rotors?
The paint will likely just rub off under normal operation but, if it were me, I’d remove the wheels (like you should have done prior to painting) and spray down your brakes with break cleaner (Brakleen works well) and wipe them down. That should get rid of most of it, let the brakes themselves do the rest when driving.
What’s the difference between coated and uncoated brake rotors?
The entire rotor including its interior has a baked on, robotic applied coating for long lasting rust protection, compared to an uncoated rotor. Edges and vanes also stay cleaner longer, for optimal cooling. Vanes play a key role in safety and performance.
