you can paint your calipers, i did it with heat resistant paint and they looked good for a couple of years. tho if money is no object check out porsche calipers.co.uk they do exchange reconditioned calipers that look like new.
Now i am re-building the calipers myself and this time i am having them vapour blasted then powder coated, i am leaving the pistons in but fixing a cover over them for coating then fitting new seals.
It may be easier to just by the recon units, but i'm tight!
regards stuart
