what you need to do is get them powder coated... then you wont have a rust issue...

First get all of the rust off the exterior of the drums. A little rust will retain moisture which will cause more rust. Then paint with a quality rust proof paint.

I tried painting my calipers with rust-proof paint, but the brakes got too hot and baked it off... but when I painted them with ceramic engine paint, it lasted a long time... or powdercoating is good too
