What do you mean by paint your hats?

The raised part of the rotor with the bolt holes is called "the hat" - if you don't put a coat of heat-resistant paint on them they will grow some surface rust. It is merely a matter of how they look, it does not affect their performance.

Some much more expensive rotors come with an anodized finish that prevents this from occurring.

Oh I understand now that's what the rotors on my car are like. Thanks
