Well i only waited 10min per wheel, not even that!! and the whole thing was dry. I tested it by just rubbing my finger down it. this stuff drys quick.

here is a picture of the spray I used (spray can I used on the left ONLY difference is the stuff I bought is not the cleaner, its the paint BUT in the can. Itis something new they recently put on there shelf at most auto stores. the whole can allowed me to do all 4 brakes and still some left over to do touchups in the future!
it was only 6 dollars and change.

That confused me. the cleaner you used to paint is the spray paint can and is mistitled as a cleaner?

Gator, my bad for confusing you man.

the can looks exactly like that can in the picture, BUT its not caliper cleaner, It says caliper Paint.

PHS, man you hit it on the spot!
I have a SI/DO Imco muffler turned out right before my receiver hitch for less sound inside the cab.

No. I presume you mean the "hub" part of the rotor because you cant paint the actual rotor. You cant see the hub at all.
