Use engine paint. Some the the colors can darken just a bit. If you want to do it fast just use the bag the paint came home in and wrap it around the rotor. You will see what I mean when you try it. Save taping everything off. You will get slight overspray if you are not careful. I have done a set of 4 in about 10 minutes..remember thats on the car with the car on stands. Powdercoating is the BEST way but engine paint is the most cost effective. Good luck!!

doesen't sound like you are all that experienced with this stuff so just get a CALIPER PAINTING KIT made by Duplicolor or G2 they are available from your local auto parts store or order online for some of the more rare colors.

The kits are in the $10-20 range and come with instructions and everythign you need. Just take your wheels off and have at it no worries just dont drop the car.

I did it myself on my 03 Cobra, and it came out great. The key is cleaning them very well. You need to get a can of brake cleaner, and really get in there. 2/3 Coats of paint and you are good to go, make sure you tape off the area that is not going to be painted red. Brake Caliper or hi temp engine paint will work just fine.
