KH question

Thanks guys! I read on Scotts thread where he took your advice Jim and filed his down. My concern was "too much" filing.
MO, when you say "stuck pads" are you talking the outer circumference of the piston bore? If so, that area has some flash rust after sitting in and coming out of Evaporust.
Thanks guys, sorry pics are lousy, hard to get close up of the proper area.
Oh couple more questions, what's so special about "caliper paint"? I was going to use Duplicolor engine enamel. Its high heat so shouldn't it be ok to use?
Also got new pistons. Bore/diameter is identical to old ones, but height is shorter on new ones approx 0.08" Foreseeable issues?

Cheers
Steve

Am I seeing where old pads have rusted to the flat surface? That where they need to be able to slide.
They have to slide , that might cause a click sound upon braking. I think the pressure will overcome sticking.
Can you weld and or file that flat?

File that surface down to get rid of the "divots"
I use one of these files, about 3/8 inch, square, in my rebuilding of those calipers.
I have seen, done, worse ones, that what your picturing.
Don't worry about filing too much, nothing bad is going to happen.
