Just pondering
If you polished all of the rest off , could you not then have the pistons plated?

Had the same issue recently, but the nearside rear sticking. We've free'd it up a few times but it will keep sticking, so today I ordered a refurbed caliper from Brakes International. Not Honda's fault, its thanks to Nissan which is amusing!

Nissin you Muppet
APPLE autocorrect FTW !

Anyway for anyone else who needs refurbs, Brakes International are good. i think the fronts are about £94 + surcharge, rears £99.70 with a £36 surcharge

Or get new ones machined out of aluminum? Save weight at the same time

I think you would be better off choosing stainless steel over aluminium. There will be a reason why nobody makes aluminium pistons, and it won't be related to cost.
