So not too long ago I upgraded my front brakes to the NQSBBK off a boxter. The kit allows you use stock rotors but the pads will only sweep about 80% of the surface, leaving a slight ring where the pad doesn't make contact. I knew to expect this but now that rust is forming on the un-swept part, its becoming more and more noticeable. So my question is can I cover this up with caliper paint after cleaning the rust off? Are there any other solutions?

I used clear high temp paint.

its been holding pretty well so far after about 3 months...granted the only water my car really sees is car washes.

I didn't use any primer. Just used Scotch Brite to clean up of all rust and clean it really good with rubbing alcohol before painting.
