Did you mask anything off or just have at it with spray paint? and did you use actual caliper paint or just regular bright a** green?

Man I know that paint will scrape right off that disc but I can't help but feel that may cause problems...

Make sure you clean the rotor surface and pads before you run it. The paint will cook onto the rotor surface and pads. It can cause hot spots, warping, pulsing, and just plain noise. Looks nice though.
