Rotor Paint

My rotors seem to rust quickly(seeing as how I have my vette sitting in a dirt floor garage) and I'm doing my best to protect everything from rust, by painting everything I can (I'm also building a wood floor in the garage to help keep my vette safe). Anyway, I was looking at VHT Brake Caliper, Drum & Rotor Coating, and was wondering if anyone has used this, or if anyone thinks that it will work. Wouldn't any paint I put on the rotor just rip rate off as soon as I used the breaks?
Thanks for any help!

Yup! Anything that goes on the rotor surface is GONE as soon as you use the brakes. A good high temp paint/coating (not sure what it is you're looking at) should work on the other parts of the rotor. But a rotor, by nature, is bare metal and it will rust if left exposed to any humidity. it's a fact of life and really isn't a big deal at all functionally. Just an appearance issue.
