Default Rusty rotors

Well I am about ready to put on my new tires and rims. Now I just got new rotors about a month ago and there all rusty looking. Just wondering if there is any way to prevent this or will I need to buy whole new rotors to make it look good.

If your talking about the hats being rusty then you could paint them in a high temp cast aluminum color.

They'll all rust, eventually. Paint them with caliper or other such specialty paint.

Rust eater like POR is also supposed to work, but thermal concerns kept me with caliper paint.

I used the high temp ceramic paint found at most auto parts stores to paint mine black and they still look great after a year and a half.
