Painting THIS part of the disc?
Discussion
It's called the disc 'bell' (at least that's what I've always called it 
).
It probably wouldn't do much harm painting it, but you'd need to use VHT paint, cos discs get f
king hot, and I guess there's a slim chance that it would encourage distortion of the disc and/or cracking around the drilled holes, on account of the paint will create a slight insulation effect that makes the discs run that little bit hotter.

Paint away. Lots of manufacturers paint them now. Honda started painting them ~8 years ago because of the number of people complaining about rusty brake discs. In fact, if memory serves in one year it became Honda's biggest warrenty claim!
Agreed, the only issue I foresee is it looking unsightly if the paint starts to come away after the wheels have been on and off a few times.No issues with performance of the disc etc at all.
