It is just surface rust on the rotors and will be gone as soon as the brakes are used.

Yup, that's only 48 hours of surface rust too.

It only took me two to three hours.

Easiest way is to tape and use a small brush an spray the caliper paint into the lid of the can then brush it on. Less tape and less risk of paint where you don't want it.

^^^ I dropped $40 on the G2 kit... Dont regret it at all, not like ive painted my brakes yet though. but as a general rule Quality> anything else...

Cant wait to put on my Mazdaspeed decals as well. Should look dope with my RPF1's about to go on...
