You can do that, or you can just paint them like I did.  Make sure you use high temp paint though.

get rebuilt. no questions asked.


used you risk the possibility that the piston is scarred/swollen/deformed plus the fact that over the years the rubber components wear down. so yeah... just get rebuilt. shouldn't be too much more expensive (for me it's ~40bucks each (loaded caliper) with a 50dollar core charge (which i don't have to pay lol))

Yeah, get rebuilt calipers.  Consider the fact that they are 15 years old.

Yup, it's pretty much built to almost brand new or like new condition.
