I'd considered painting my rotors with a couple of coats of high temp engine paint in the past but worried about masking the swept area.
On the rotors for my truck I did 3 coats of caliper paint, 2 light coats 10 minutes apart followed by a wet coat. It's best if you cant let the paint cure a few days before reinstalling, but masking isn't necessary as it wears off quickly with some gentle braking. I would also recommend a light coat of caliper grease on the top of the rotor hat where it meets the wheel to prevent sticking.
