Rotors

[OCDinPDX]

Okay...summer is coming on and I`m dreaming about what to do to the Santa Fe to get her looking top-notch. The black is peeling off the rubber wheel well liners so I`m going to blast off what`s left and re-spray with a matte black spray paint. Also, my rotors have rusted where the wheels meet up so it doesn`t look good. Rust with clean silver alloy...

I recall somebody here touched that up although I don`t remember how. Something about sanding the rust off and spray painting silver to make them look good again.

Any tips?

Edit: This is what I`m talking about if you look beyond the spokes, you`ll see the hub of the wheel itself is silver but the part of the rotor that mates with it is an ugly rusted color.

I have had good luck with this High Perf Caliper Paint Kit

Thank you, sir. I may wind up making a project out of it and remove the rotors to make sure I don`t get any paint on the pads or calipers where I don`t want it. I could also wait until it needs pads which is bound to be fairly soon. These pads have 40,000 miles on them.
