I guess you have money to burn then? You are probably looking at around $200 a caliper (as based on the $200 dealer price I got on a non-abs master cylinder) so that is about $800 to replace four parts on your car that work perfectly ok, but do not look pretty.

Wear safety goggles, break out the dreamel and the standard wire brush, get those suckers all nice and shiney.. and hit them with paint. It may be hard work, but the results are worth it.

Check with Matmag on these boards, he's from Bemidji.

You should be okay though, just make sure the wire isn't too rough that it will scrape away metal. LOL
