Rust is only a problem on a limited run of GSO dobs. The silver ones which were not properly painted with metal primer before hte silver was applied. My GSO dob is one of the early ones, it is black, it is over 5 yrs old, it has been rained upon, dewed upon, spat at and it does not have 1 spot of rust on the scope anywhere. In addition both mirrors still have the original coatings and the scope still supplies superb views.
I sympathise with those people that have the silver scopes that do have rust issues. That's also easily fixed by the way with 2 hours work and $30 worth of metal primer and spray enamel. No you shouldn't have to repaint the scope but its not a major issue and as far as I am aware the issue has now been resolved.
