MOTM

Rust applies to iron oxidizing.

Aluminum does form an oxidation layer of aluminum
oxide (alumina).  But unlike iron oxide (rust), this
initial layer of aluminum oxide quickly forms a
protective barrier which prevents further oxidation.

To prevent any oxidation, you could apply a thin layer
of polyurethane (or similar clear coating) to the
exposed areas.

But think about the last time you saw a (white) layer
of oxidation on aluminum...  So my recommendation is
to not worry about the minimal oxidation layer.  Well,
my ultimate recommentation is to not disturb the
beautiful MOTM (or Stooge) paint in the first place. 
If I would have wanted a M**g, I would have bought one
to begin with.
