I tried that with uncoated rotors and Rust-Oleum hi temp BBQ paint, after careful cleaning/degreasing. Then it washed right off the first time I hit it with brake cleaner.
I would use something like Cerakote for guns instead - BBQ is still a solvent-based lacquer-type paint. I've seen dry moly lube used on the wheel hub faces as a very light film sprayed on.

Cerakote is really expensive though. At that point, you may as well just buy some coated rotors in the first place.
Now, something cheaper like high temp engine enamel may be just the ticket. IIRC the chemical composition of the ceramic spray engine enamel and Cerakote are very similar in the first place.

Grill paint isn't made for that sort of thing, though. I'd try engine enamel instead, that stuff is designed for automotive use.
