Use a wire brush to clean it. Or use a drill with the wire-mesh polisher wheel in it to clean it. This will nearly give it a polished look.
To clean the surface nicely, use rust remover.. that is what I did on my rear drums.. i only cleaned my front calipers using the drill/wire-msh polisher method..

900 degree paint is enough either, I suggest you do multiple THIN! (Thin is key!) coats of your desired paint color by applying each coat 30 min apart in a dry condition.. then wait 1-2 hours and apply the clear coat.
After than, either leave overnight or wait multiple hours for it to fully dry.
Haven’t done anything on the Camaro, but put LEDs on my truck headlights . And my oil pressure sensor went out on the truck so going to fix that this...
