Thats going WAAAYYY overboard as far as too much color on a bike...but whatever

www.eastwoodco.com had caliper paint that will work on rotors....sproket tho is gonna wear off where the teeth make contact and start to chip and flake.....go to sprocket specialists and get an annodized colored one if thats the route you have to go

FWIW anodizing them the same color as the caliper would look better

But that would involve polishing both the sprocket and then anodizing them...that is unless you want the dull look of the caliper

Paint I'm afraid is just not gonna hold up well at all over time and look worth a crap
