I am thinking of taking my rotors off to clean the rust off and then paint with hi-temp caliper paint, what do you use to clean the rust off the rotors? Here are some pictures of mine.
Usually they spray some chemical on the wheels to get teh brake dust etc off.. this takes off the coatings on the pins rotor hubs etc.. AND it happens naturally with washing by hand.. I actually replaced my rotors with X drilled/slotted.. the rust gave me an excuse.. and I used High heat 2000@ heat paint...
