As above. DIY using hi-temp paint eg Hammerite or similar, If you want to re-furb the internals have a look here. It really is a piece of wee wee.

HI
Yes I can do them , I make stainless steel pistons that dont rust , so you shouldn't have any further problems with them

Have a look at this thread which show pics of the finished calipers , we can send you out calipers on an exchange basis overnight so you dont have to be without the car

Cheers Ian

Ian where abouts are you located? Think I would rather bring the car to you than mess about swapping calipers over... I would prob end up breaking something!
