Re: removing rust for rotors

Get a drill, and a wirebrush you can put on the drill to make the job faster and easier. Clean with brake cleaner and some sandpaper on the actual braking surface if you want, the pads will clean that up too anyz

For paint if you want to cheap out just spray them with some black rust reformer paint or bbq black paint.

i used some 80grit sand paper. did it on the entire rotor. although i need to get something to sand the slots nicely. but for the most part it cleaned them up nicely. gonna paint them tomorrow. will post pics then.

I would definitely take it to a shop and get them resurfaced.
