Default rotor help

friend painted my rotors black while he was painting my calipers.

Is it safe to have my rotors painted? If not would it be safe to use a paint stripper to get the paint out?

please help

I assume your talking about the rotor hat which is fine. You don't want to paint the whole rotor.

I've seen people do, but I don't recommend it. It looks dumb anyway because it leaves a 1/8 painted line on the very top of the rotor on the brake pad surface.

Try slamming on the brakes a few times and see if that strips them...
