Your brakes will work fine. After a some time you will wear through the paint at the braking points anyway. All new wheel / brake combos take some time to bed in so you should always be a bit more careful on the first few hours (say 10 hours?) of riding until every thing has bedded into everything else and the best braking is achieved.
