It's normal. I don't think I've ever had a car that didn't rust on the
hubs. If it bothers you, you can clean it off and paint it, but it's
nothing to be worried about.

If you paint it, use high-heat temp paint but I would just leave it
alone. It won't hurt anything.

Simple Rust-Oleum Aluminum paint did just fine on my car. I just modified
the Garage Page article with pictures taken a few minuites ago.

Thanks for the replies everyone. Especially to Wayne who posted the
pics and instructions on how to touch it up if I choose.

I saw Waynes pics and suggestion on paint, very good. Even without
being "high temp" paint, his paint obviously has held up very well. I
have no intentions on painting my rotors but I recently used some high
temp silver/aluminum color spray paint on the exhaust of a car of mine,
even near the catylatic converter (that I had to replace because the
bracket rusted through). It also appears to be holding up fine and
hopefully will help protect the welded areas of the pipes that always
rust first so I can prevent replacing various pieces of the exhaust on
that car every few years. I got it at Lowes or Home Depot. As with any
metal painting job, the cleaner and rust free it is, the longer the
paint will last. You can paint over rust but it WILL not last.

Not related but since we are talking about rust..
When replacing parts of your exhaust, pay the extra 2~3 dollars more for
stainless steel nuts and bolts. Your knuckles and patience will thank
your wallet many times over if you ever have to return to it later.
