I'm surprised that area isn't painted from the factory, the High end jap cars have it. I really did my Q45 rotors. The caliper paint holds up from Eastwood.

On the newer cars back when we had them, since the brakes were so visible with the modern style wheels, I was simply using aftermarket zinc coated rotors. Lasted and still looked like new for years while we daily drove the cars. It kept the vented portion of the rotors looking nice as well.
That's what I would do, wait for brake job time and just replace them with zinc coated. Most of those factory rotors don't have enough meat to turn them anyway.

If you decide to replace the rotors make sure you buy the new coated rotors. Most manufactures offer a premium coated rotor that won't rust, the whole rotor is coated with this special coating and then when installed and the pads make contact with the braking surface, the coating wears off in that area....the rest of the rotor remains coated. NAPA auto parts has some nice coated rotors reasonably priced if that's the route you choose to go.
