Got bored...painted my brakes

Like the title says, bought some caliper paint and painted away. I decided to only do the front today, freakin hot outside. Should I keep the rear unpainted, let me know what you think? I didnt know that stock WRX brakes were tokico, till now.

is this the brush on stuff? if so, where did you buy it? i was thinking of doing mine but i had only seen spray paint for calipers and i am too lazy to spray paint (taping, extra coats, etc.) i was also hoping i could use the same paint to cover the center part of the disk that rusts. this would be with black paint of course.

It is Duplicolor Brake caliper paint kit. The brush on kind. I got it at Kragen for 15.99. Comes with a half pint of paint, brake cleaner stuff, and a paint brush. Oil based so really sticky stuff but its definitely not going to come off. They had black, red, yellow, blue
