I used the Rust Seal paint on my rusty lug nuts on my Cayenne with fantastic results.
You pain over the rust, it completely transforms the surface. The paint even comes in silver.

Check out cquence slotted rotors, I've got a couple thou on em now and am happy so far. They wear even and don't squeek like stock drilled.

Yep, nothing better than a spray for that, it's bare metal, no other options
I would suggest sanding with 180 and prime first, you can prime, wait 10 minutes and spray paint right over no problem

Or buy new zinc plated rotors and they'll never rust, but it's not the cheapest of options
