Clean yours up with some solvent really well, let them dry, and use some high quality caliper paint on them.

Bah...it's stock one-piston caliper. I don't think it'll make a huge difference when get your piston thermal coated (ceramic coating)...but for those who have the XG350...find a thermal coating place, like Swain (www.SwainTech.com). It'll reduce the temperature that the piston operates at, so that you can consistently brake hard without having your brakes feel like they've stopped working. (Best for autoX)

I am pretty sure that even a single piston caliper can benefit from themal coating. It might even benefit more as a large piston works harder and probably transfers more heat than two smaller pistons. I am assuming you are talking about coating the piston itself, NOT the caliper.

But none of that matters because the question was about Caliper Cost and Paint.
