Default Prevent brakes from rusting

Is there anyways to prevent the rotors from rusting, it really ruins the overall look when the rotors are orange / brown

Is it possible to paint rotors?

You can use anti squeek from an auto parts store to remove the rust or possibly steel wool.

You do need to be careful with it. Use gloves and don't get it on the paint. It will remove wax. You have to take the wheels off in order to use it properly.

No more then Simple Green. Doing the 80 thing won't work (I note sarcasm but just for reference) The rust is coming from all the places the pad isn't touching during braking so if it's not touching during normal braking it won't be any different at 80.
