Painted with caliper paint from oreillys.
Just took off the wheels, sprayed down everything with brake cleaner and scrubbed it, and taped up everything with newspaper and sprayed several light coats. Came out pretty nice, could've been better... but it looks good from a far anyways lol

hope this helps

Yep. Used a wire brush to scuff the surface up a bit and get rid of any rust, dirt, or dust. Then wiped it down and masked everything else off. I went with a somewhat glossy black paint designed for calipers (i.e. high temperature resistant). Not a fan of colored calipers unless they came that way to be honest. I did my rear drums as well in the same fashion. Just make sure you let everything dry completely before you drive it (mainly the drums) otherwise the centrifugal force will splatter paint all on the inside of your wheels. Good luck!

dont forget to paint the base of ur rotors black, it will make them look better then the rust building up. (but only where where the screws go on.)
