Eh, not that silly really (aside from the color). It's not unusual to paint or coat the rotor hat (the center) to prevent it from rusting. Painting the swept part of the rotor was simply a waste of paint, the pads will remove the paint in a few miles of driving. The brakes will work fine.

Really?! Sure seems like the first few miles would be dangerous, and as that paint melted at high temps it would cause problems. I have never seen this done before.

The rotors I used to purchase for my boxster always showed up like this... threw me initially too... also they tended to cook and smoke at first track session... can be unnerving, but as previously mentioned, no big deal

Click the link and look at the dude's rims. They block out seeing the rotor completely.
