Default Rust on brake rotor "hat"?

My wife and I bought her a car that was her dream car since high school; a white BMW 3 series. It was a certified BMW with low miles (22k) and she loves it.
What she doesn't love is the rust that is on the elevated area of the brake rotor; I think some refer to it as the hat?

Is there anyway to remove / prevent this rust from the brakes? Of course it doesn't affect the performance of the brakes but you can see it through the openings of the rims and it is an eyesore to her.

I figure I could jack the car up, remove the rim, sand the rust down and paint that area but, before I tried anything like that I figured I would ask this group for suggestions.

Thanks
