do rusted calipers affect braking? or is it just surface rust and cosmetic? so if i just sand the rust off and paint over it, would the rust come back just like how rust comes back on body panels?

also... uh... if you paint rotors to prevent rust... whch parts of the rotor should you paint? the whole thing? only the front? back and front? just the middle part that sticks up?

the surface of the rotor will rust no matter what if the cars outside sitting, but will go away after a couple steps on the brake. rust is forming on my recently painted rotors and calipers too.
