hub/caliper painting

i am going to paint my hubs and calipers thing weekend but i have a few questions before i do.(the search did not reveal enough of the info i needed)
after you buy the g2 paint, do you simply paint over the hubs or is their some procedure you go through to take the rust off then paint? i have read some search results and they simply said that they painted their hubs and calipers.

I know it is important to give the calipers a thorough cleaning before you apply the paint but what are the steps for cleaning the hubs?

also, what would be a good caliper color for a silver 8?

Something like the one below, the rotors are cast iron it's hard to damage them with this.
