That's why you paint the rotor with a high quality, high temp paint like VHT or Thermo-tec.

Yeah, OEM rotors come with the rustproofing (zinc plating I think) and are usually worth the price increase if you want all that.

Edit: Here it is, had to go to the back up HD for this one, lol

IIRC, if you had any visible grinding at all, the rotor can't be turned since they only give you a couple thousands of an inch to play with... new.
So if the rotors have any sort of good mileage on them, there wouldn't be enough thickness to be able to turn and stay above the minimum.
