okay so I've cleaned my brakes. I used a wire brush on the drums, sanded them with wet dry paper, and then I used rustoleum high temp spray paint on them. but, after 2 weeks they are already flaking and looking bad again. my question is, how can I make them look good permanently (or atleast for the better part of a year)?
... and don't tell me to go out and buy new rotors or do a conversion. I'm planning on it, but everything has a time and a place. and next spring is the time, not now

The wire brush isn't enough. You really need to have them sand blasted and then clean them well prior to painting. Its not the heat thats making them look bad, its the surface prep. You're never going to get much heat in those drums unless you doing a downhill mountain bike race.
