It's inevitable, brake rotors will rust, but it's just surface rust. You could try to paint the centers of them, and maybe paint the sides/vents, but it's not really worth it IMO.
Other than on cars that sat in a field for 20 years or something, I've never seen a brake rotor have a problem due to rust.

i just want to keep them shiny in the center, maybe a high temp clear gloss

Some rotors will come pre-coated with zinc (I think thats what it is) to prevent the rusting. My friend got some for his acura and after about 1 year they started to rust. The ones I have on my car came pre-painted black (NOT the surface) and I have yet to have a problem (going on 2 years now?)
^^ Napa has some pretty good rotors just like that, painted black, with good quality metal so rusting out is less of a chance.

Could always paint them with either a graphite colour -- so it looks like bare metal -- or a high-temp clear coat if you don't like the obviously painted look.
