Chuck: There's no reason to have ugly rusting calipers, especially since they are not judged. If I were you, I'd have them cad plated at least. Another option would be to use POR-15 high-temp silver paint on them.

Chuck:
Under JCNA Concours Rules, the brake calipers are not to be judged, so you can do whatever you like with them. That being said, I believe they were raw metal.
