Default Brake caliper painting

Gonna paint my calipers Next week brought savage caliper paint frozen White only thing is when I done my rear drums 3 months ago rust is now coming thru so is there any sort of primer/rust prevention I can use before painting as I don't want this to happen on front calipers

Iv only ever used engine paint or smoothrite and made the calipers rust free first, strong mix of caustic soda is good for this just be careful eats every thing.
