What paint & method to use

My Bonneville GXP has these really nice 18 Rims but the problem is the calipers are rusted from behind. What method would be best to correct this problem. I figure some silver or grey spraypaint but I am worried about the heat.

Thanks in advance

do you mean the rotors? your calipers red paint looks alright in the pic. If you go to any auto parts place you can pick up some caliper paint. As for your rotors, what I have done in the past is taped off the parts where the pads work and paint the rotor with either caliper paint or any other extreme high heat paint of your choice (make sure to clean up the rust though first) If your fussy like me, you will probably end up repainting every year or so depending on how much you drive it.

Any autostore will have high-temp paint and some which is specifically made for use on brake parts.

Yes you are right I meant to say rotors. How would I get rid of the rust? The calipers came from the factory painted that way.
