normal paint like an airosol?depents what heat they get up to?id use 2pack if you can get hold of any?or mix the yellow with blue or orange!
i always use hamorite smooth! dunno if you can get in in green tho?

Black would be covert... Silver made my calipers look massive with 3 spokes on.
Paint them black, they are only drums and nothing much to draw attention to!!! Use a wire brush on the rust, then clean the area up (free of grease and loose rust) then brush on some rust encapsulator.

do what i did n find someone that does sandblasting n get them done like that, it gets rid of all the rust. alot more that a wire brush does. ull need heatproof paint coz they'll get hot btw.
Cillit BANG is good for cleaning excess brake dust off them btw lol
