Drive shaft rust?

When I got my new SD home I crawled under it and noticed the driveshafts were already rusted! Apparently they had not been painted.

Is this going to be a problem? Should I have rust warranty work done?

Don't worry about it- the dealership will not do anything about it either. If you don't like the rust color, sand it off and paint it. Color-matching the truck would be
