All cars get that anywhere in the world. It is nothing.

And it's not the calipers, it's the rotors.

thats normal. if its on the rotor itself it will go away after u use ur brakes, the pad will grind it off. if its on the hub well all u can do is wash it.

get some good high temp paint (most places sell caliper paint) and that should take care of the rust for a while

Are you talking about rust on the Rotors or on the brake caliper? If it is the caliper then paint it, if it is the rotor( like they said) it is normal. bare metal + moisture = rust.
