any suggestions?

I just replaced my front rotors with brembos and they rust on them, what do you guys suggest I use to get this off and possibly protect that area from the rust coming back? maybe hi-temp engine spray paint?

Some rotors come with a plating to help prevent that, but even that wears away and you get the same problem...

Just learn to live with it, it is a fact of life.

Some have painted them with hightemp paint, but i dont think it looks good.

I painted mine black like 2 days ago and i love it... looks way better than the rust, its not flashy or anything, just clean looking. I had the duplicolor brush on caliper paint stuff, and i just jacked up the car took off the a wheel and painted the rotors one by one.

Scuff them up, and use a rusty surface primer and then paint them with high-temp paint (like others mentioned). I did this a couple of months ago and the paint has not shown any signs of wearing off and still looks nice and glossy. I used black also. All products I used were Rustoleum as well.
