Thats the way the high end brakes are coming. Its a coating, but looks nice in drilled slotted rotors. Look at USAbodygaurds 6 pistons, IIRC thats how they were. Probably not a true paint, but I would bet it would be fine

Thanks for the comments guys.
Yeh, it's been done MANY times. First time I seen it was on a high end corvette build. Just burns the paint off the contact area and leaves everything else nice and black, or whatever color you so choose. You are right though, the high end brakes are not painted, it is a coating.

IIRC its a zinc coating to just keep them from rusting, which comes off easily, like with a fingernail. Painting the whole rotor with high temp brake paint is just asking for the pads to be ruined/not broken in properly imo. geez how hard is it to tape them off anyway..
