Any advice for painting rotor hubs

I got new rotors and dustless pads installed. Since my old rotors got so dirty from the pad dust, I did not give much thought to rust. However, my dustless pads work too well and you can see rust on the rotor hubs. In retrospect, I should have made sure the rotors were anodized but it is too late for that. Any advice on what paint to use to hide the rotor hub rust?

paint for my new rotors! Most caliper paint is sold as "caliper, drum, and hub" paint- look under "Caliper paint" on Ebay for lots of choices if you can't find what you want locally. I ended up ordering 2 kits, one each of black and white so I can mix up some grey to match the original rotor hubs on my '02 TT. Also, you might check with a company called Caswell Inc.- they have a huge selection of paints I've never seen before, including one by VHT called Nucast iron, good for 1500 degrees that I'm going to spray on the rotor vanes to see if I can keep the rust down there, too.
