Would this brake kit suffice? Or should i get Rotors separately?

I bought Ceramic pads from Auto Zone and have no complaints about them. As for the rotors I would just go with stock replacements. For painting the calipers I used the Duplicolor caliper spray paint.
So i got an estimate yesterday. And said there is nothing wrong with them. Just need a good cleaning.
So i bought brake cleaner. Gave the rear a good cleaning lastnight, and gonna do the front this morning.
Also, painting them blue. But initially they look too blue/bright.
1st time doing this, we are amateurs(me and my brother).
Anything i did wrong so far? Tips? Comments?
I also got good pics of the underside, which I will upload later.

The rotors don't look bad, but the pads could be a different story..
they look good so far, only thing I would have done is is cleaned the caliper more, it needs to be cleaned with a wire brush and then painted.
What paint did you use? High-temp paint needs to be used or it'll crack

I used normal paint but with auto-primer. And now i can use that paint for other detailing.
Here is finished product. Im gonna go with a silver/blue color scheme. The rear Chevy badge is blue and my fav' color.
