I thought rotora doesnt make cross drilled rotors, only slotted. If that is the case, it was aftermarket drilled, and the zinc coating was taken off when they got drilled, so they are going to rust.

I communicated directly with Rotora and asked them if they made crossdrilled rotors themselves and the answer is : 
They actually make 3 different models : slotted only, cross drilled only, and combo (cross drilled + slotted)
They are made in house at Rotora, not by another tier.
They are "e-coated" which is very good as a primer, but not very good on it's own against rust. I painted mine with anti-rust paint and so far so good

You can see in the picture below where it is rusting.... it is not that bad and is hard to see from a distance. i was looking at the back rotors and i am kinda thinking it wont look as badd once they have been on for a while the area should look more of a black then the rust color.

they are straight from Rotora
ROTO 168.40046.01C (CL) left rotor
ROTO 168.40046.02C (CL) right rotor
Email them to confirm, they will tell you they are real.
Excellerate has a pair in stock now if youre looking for a pair, i just asked him a few days ago.

LOL at how off track this thread has become.
There's not a lot you can do about the the rust man. Afterall it is just a casting and while the "e-coating" looks nice when the rotors are brand new it doesn't do much in the long run.
And just to confirm for all the naysayers... yes Rotora does make slotted, drilled, and a combination of the two. All in house and the drilled rotors are cast that way, not drilled later.
