Painting rotors = reduce rust???

I replaced my stock rotors w/ the brembo oem replacements a couple months ago. i've noticed a considerable amount of rust building up around the center part of each rotor. would it help reduce rust if i painted that area w/ some high-temp paint????

You mean this one:



Ange sells them on her website Redlinemax.com

As for the rotors, just like what Nismo said

I use the DupliColor 1200 degree Aluminum spray. I do it about once a year. Even the fin area. The first time you got to sand them pretty good and I used a Dremel on the fin area.
Get a lot of complements

Just like others mentioned. Sand the areas you want to paint first then use any kind of hi-temp paint for the rotors. The brake rotor will get really hot during braking use. Hi-temp paint can be bought in auto store for about $3.50-7.00 a can. Will help the known rusting with all kind of rotors.
