lol, unless you care about the braking performance of your car when you're backing up there's zero performance to be gained from upgrading the rear drums. You could put 13" rotors on and upgrade the calipers and it would do nothing except waste a lot of money.
In a Camry most of the weight sits over the front wheel-almost 70%. And that's when the car isn't moving. When you brake the car dives forward on it's suspension and puts even more weight onto the front wheels, so the rear brakes do literally 1/10th the work of the front brakes.
I know the drums don't exactly look sexy in back, but the cost and complexity make upgrading just for looks pretty silly.
If you want better braking performance, more aggressive brake pads and stickier tires are about 9000x more effective than upgrading your rear drums to discs, and cost way, way less money. Of course I know this doesn't help with the looks, but that's life.
If your rear rotors are rusty I'd clean the rust off with a non-abrasive rust remover. I suppose if you're really anal you can paint it a silvery shade or something, but that's about as far as anybody should go.
