yes, i encountered the same problem and painted them with success. i did it the dumb way (left the rotors on the car, sanded them down, masked the rotor, and then spraypainted them). lotta work. here is the smart way:
1. start with new, unmounted rotors (not too expensive if you go to http://www.eeuroparts.com)
2. put masking tape on the rotor surface (where the pads contact). don't be neat, just throw it on there. then use a sharp knife to carefully cut straight at the junction of the vertical rotor surface and horizontal hub
3. get some black rustoleum (they make a specific type for bbq grills and other heated surfaces)
4. spray away, with care to use an even coat (did not need a 2nd coat)
one thing...there is a small ring around the rotor (at the bottom of the rotor surface just before it intersects with the hub) that is still subject to rust. i was too impatient during masking to cut it away, and also scared that paint so close to the rotor surface might chip away, stick to my pads, ruin my rotors, etc. the rust ring on my car is not that noticeable, but maybe someone else can offer advice on how to guard against it.
