Stock brakes

There's a little bit of rust on the outside of the brake discs, is it alright to sand it off?

Its on the face, hear the center.. so from a distance you can't really see it, but from a top view you can.

I have the same on mine. I really don't see a problem with sanding it but, all you'll be doing is exposing the bare metal once again. And it will rust over again. I think I'm gonna sand it off and paint it with some high temp paint. That should cure the prob. And since I'll already have the wheels off I might as well paint the brake calipers.

I have a brand new box of caliper paint (red), bought it for $33 with shipping, I'll sell it $26 shipped, its not opened.
