Rust on the brake rotor?

Don't worry about it. Drive for a minute and it is gone.

Rust on rotors is very common. However, once you start driving the rust will go away. I have rust on my rotors every morning and it doesnt worry me.

If it is the part of the rotor that does not come in contact with the brake pads, you can hit the rotors with some hi-temp silver spray paint. That way your rotors will stay bling.

then you have some troubleshooting to do. take the car for a drive, hit the brakes, see if the rust is still there. if so then do more driving, pull the ebrake and see if rust is still there. The pads may not be coming into contact with the rotor. I had a similar problem after doing a rear disc conversion. I ended up replacing one of the brake lines and it was fine after that.
