I think you should go with powder coating cause its more durable an dlooks better in my opinion. I don't have any pictures but my friends has a 89 camaro rs with orange rotors and it looks sweet, mainly because the car is trimmed in orange, it has orange heritage stripes as well.

I'm not sure it would be a good idea to paint the rotors. If you do, please have it match the color of your car. It looks so retarded when Ricers have a red car and paint the drums blue or something. I don't care for the idea too much, I just painted mine black.

Yours look good cuz you guys did it tastefully, and picked the right colors for your car. It would be a completely diffrent story if either one of you chose yellow.
