What to do about rusting calipers/drums...

Well, since the drums were black factory I'll just repaint them black so my question is what to do about the front. I want to paint them (obvioulsy to hide the ugly rust color) but I don't think they'll look right black...I do NOT want colors....do they make like a silver caliper paint?? What did everyone else do? Or let me guess, you don't live in a winter climate so you don't have rust!

wire brush them and paint the black.They look 10x better black then rust. You can get caipler paint anywhere like autozone get the kind you can brush it on its a lot better. Its a full kit you might be able to get silver not sure though
