I would sand it off just to be sure. Then go about rebuilding them as normal(hone the cylinder.....)

If yours is something similar to the picture just put the new parts in, you'll be fine, no need to do anything else to them.

where did you read about painted pistons? if you read and look at the picture it has nothing to do with the piston. and my calipers look nothing like that. the surface where the arrow is pointing at is painted.
