Default Break Rotor Rust

Do the Brembo OE rotors show the rust like the OEM rotors do around the hub and the edge of the rotor? I am lookin into new rotors because the Acura dealer here in St. Louis wants $270 to turn just the front 2, so thats absolute rape. I don't want slotted or drilled, but I do want a rotor with the cadmium coating so they won't show any rust. I was wonderin if the Brembo's show any rust or should I find some with the coating.
Thanks!!

I don't know if Brembo OE replacements have the cadmium plating.

The simplest way to keep rust from showing is to get some silver hi-temp paint, mask off the friction surface, and go to town on the hat (the area around the hub) and the edges.

I have the brembo blanks and they have rust on the hub area after a week I installed it. For what I know, they do not have any kind of plating on the hub area or the edge of the rotor.

What I did on the bug when I did the disc conversion was mask off the part of the rotor the pad touches, and painted it with high temp black paint. Did not bake it on in the oven, because I figured it would get plenty hot enough. No rust after a few years.
