Rusty Rotors
My brake rotors, calipers were covered in rust. I sanded and brushed the rotor hat area and caliper and painted black. My question is it ok to sand away the rust with a high grit sandpaper on the rotor's disk that does not come into contact with the brake pad?

A wire brush and a rust absorber should work fine
Alternative-Zinc Aero Rotors are available either drilled or slotted, an optional anti-corrosion gold zinc coating benefits those who live in cold climates, where snow and road salt are commonly encountered. Zinc coating also benefits customers who prefer no visible surface rust on the vanes and outer circumference of rotors - Stop Tech - http://www.stoptech.com/products/rotors.shtml
A service to address the issue for drilled and slotted rotors that requires sanding each slot and hole with a Dremel then using a high-temp clear coat when finished, the clear coat is applied by brush and the surface of the rotor is finely sanded to remove excess clear coat so it does not come in contact with the brake pad, therefore leaving any and all high-temp clear coat in the slots or drilled holes.$30.00/Rotor off the car, return shipped in 2-3 days.
