Mark, Most turnbuckles are made of bronze with a chrome coating. They should not show any sign of rust. The studs and toggles ends may show some sign of rust but it should clean off very easily with any good metal polish. As for the 1X19 wire I recommend that you get the rigger who put it all together to take a look. There shouldn't be any sign of rust on the wire after 1 year.
As previously stated you can have some transfer from the dyes during the swaging process but again it should come off easily.
