Good cheap zinc plated rotors?
Hey guys, looking to buy ONLY fresh rear rotors not front. My front rotors for some reason look mint while the rear ones are rusted including the caliper ...
I have an 08 type s, anyone have some in mind? Preferably silver zinc plated to match the fronts. Also does anyone know how to get off the rust from the calipers?

Sand blast the calipers, then apply nice fresh coat of paint.

while you are changing the rotors you might as well change the pads too - then you wont have to worry about going back in there for the next couple years. As for rotors, don't cheap out man you drive a type-s - get some quality brakes+rotors. For the rust on the calipers there's not much you can do - you will have to use some brake clean and a wirebrush, get it all off then just paint it.

To answer your question, use a Dremel to sand down the rust and paint from there.
