I have some before and after pictures.....I used Klean-strip rust converter....it turns rust to black primer...all I did was sand it bf I put on about 3 coats of this on....then used Dupi-color black caliper paint over that...taping it all up was not too fun...then used the Dupi-color caliper kit to do the calipers while I had the wheels off...hope this helps....sorry the wheels are crazy dirty

isnt the rust normal? Is there replacement rotors that won't do this? I cant stand it personally...
