Rusty rotors

I am in the process of porting a 12a. The rotors have a lot of surface rust on them, is this a issue? Can I clean it off?

as long as it's surface rust, it can be taken off with some wet sandpaper.

A light coat of oil, and put them in a ziplock bag, depending on how long you plan to store them. If storing for a long time put them in a plastic tote.
