Well you could paint part of the rotor and your caliper will never have to worry about rust again but make sure do get high temperature paint as brakes heats up. Hope this help.

Welcome to the world of salt my friend, best bet would be to get some sand paper and some paint before it gets nasty and pitted. Just go black if you dont want asnything drastic.
