OK, the lug seats should have anti-seize, but that is another thread.

Yeah, you'll definitely want to mask the rotor mating surface if painting the wheel front and back. I only painted the fronts of mine, but I was only going from 20% gloss black to graphite, though, so the backs won't be noticeable. For silver to black, it might be a good idea to at least give the backsides a few good sprays with the paint before starting on the front.
Good luck with the sanding, too. . . those spokes are going to be a bitch. I thought mine were tough, and I only have 7 spokes/rim.
Get us some pix when you're done! I want to see how they look on your car.
