Default Gross Brake Calipers?

Hey all, as I was drying my wheels yesterday after getting my GX washed, I noticed that the brake calipers were all nasty and rusty looking. Has anyone noticed this problem before? Is there a brake caliper cover you have found that works on the GX? What about brake caliper paint? Would i need to buy new calipers to paint them since these are all grimed up already? Would paint prevent this problem from occurring again? Thanks in advance for your help!

paint it. you have to clean it thoroughly and use the brushed on paint not the spray paint..

easier to remove the calipers and clean but more work

Ok guys, thanks for the advice so far. Do you think a dealer would do this if I paid them? I'm not good with tools and paint, lol.
