Rotor Rust
I'm going to rid mine of rust when I get around to it. I'll be using wire wheels (a 4" one and rotary wire brush) chucked in the electric drill. I'll remove the caliper and its bracket (4 bolts I'll bet) and get both of them out of the way. Then I'll brush off the rust where it shows on yours, the "hat" (the bit in the bottom right of your rotor) and the ventilated outer edge. Then I'll apply a coat of silver Tremclad followed by a couple of coats of hi-temp silver paint. I'll remove the rotors (two big Phillips screws hold it on) and do the back side too.
You can get a bit of paint on the swept area of the pads as it will get worn off in the first few revolutions. Don't go nuts and paint the whole thing though.
An "impact driver" is the best tool to remove those phillips screws.
I'll be painting my calipers and brackets too while they're off. Calipers black, brackets silver. The Brembo calipers on the front of my TL-S are already black.
