Default Caliper Rust... is this bad?

My digicam seems to make orange look a tad reddish... I'm more concerned on the widespread area the rust has gotten on the caliper. Is it a problem? The rust only seems to happen on the passenger caliper.. the driver side has little to none.
I plan on just scrubbing the caliper with a wire brush when I do a tire rotation.

Painting them may help. I had some kind of weird residue on mine. I think it was from this wheel cleaner I used. I would scrub it off, but it would come back. It make them look like they were corroding. I tried just painting over them. Never saw the stains again. The paint is still perfect.

If you track your car or use your brakes "hard" your going to have this problem over and over. Unless you get some real good paint.....not Stunna Paint

There were a few more posts about clalipers and rust, but I can't find them...

Just sand off the rust and paint, if you don't like the rust.

I've never had any issues with rust on the calipers.
