BBQ grill paint is cheap and works. You could probably use a marine chemical type rust remover instead of pulling them off to sand. This also tells you that the brake rotors were replaced with non Porsche parts as they paint theirs.
How many miles have you put on that new car so far? Welcome to the club!

Nothing like rusty rotor hats to kill the look of an otherwise great looking car. It's all in the details!
I've used silver caliper paint with great success. Sand off all the rust, wipe down and spray. Actually just did this two nights ago... (first time I've done a solo rotor replaced)! The silver very closely matched my rims so I was very happy. (Warning, it's a 500 F paint, see Lonnie's comment above)

the factory hubs are painted over the whole surface. If the paint is good and dry I dont see where it would make much of any difference with the lugs tightened to the 90-95 lbs range.

Pic of mine when I painted the hats on my Zimmerman rotors. That was a fun experience doing that in the parking lot of my town house complex - thankfully have a house and garage now.
