Pretty normal for a mild steel flange to get a bit of surface rust. Best way to avoid it is to send it to Carlos @ TCC and get it coated

When I pull of the IM and throttle body to be ported I was planning on pulling this and having it coated. I'll do some research on coating, but any one have some quick suggestions on where to get this coated?

Carlos from Tirado Custom Coatings posted a few posts up from your question

He does what you're looking for. His web page is http://www.tiradocustomcoatings.com

get it ceramic coated and not powdercoated.
powdercoating never lasts well with heat and materials that expand and contract alot.

ceramic also adds the benefit of heat retention.

tirado custom coatings offers exhaust coating, they arent talking about powder coating it
