Unhappy rusty towing hitch

Has anyone else experienced their towing hitch going rusty, I fitted the OEM hitch about a year ago and it has gone pretty rusty already and looks crap.I am very surprised being it is OEM.I think I will have to mask up the back of the car and re-spray the visible parts back to black.Any thoughts.

I haven't noticed mine showing any signs of rust, and I am in a very salty environment (road salt from November until April).
