paint right on to a rusty rotor, please help

Do you guys recommend buying auto zone pads to scrape the paint off of the rotors and then installing high performance pads after a few miles? I've been told that if i don't do that then my high performance pads won't last as long and they will dust a lot more than they should.

no, not at all. the paint is extremely thin layer and most of it will wind up on the edge of the pad when you scrape it off by braking. the rest will just burn off.
