Brembo rebuild question...

Hey guys, i have 2 sets of Brembos, 1 set is freshe rebuild but caliper had crappy black paintjob... The other set is original finish, needs a rebuild, looks good on outside, but inside is pitted from salt maybe? My question is, can i take apart the fresh rebuild and swap it into the other caliper that looks better.? Will it screw up the seals etc if i swap them? Thanks in advance for replys.... Also im gonna have a set of Brembos for sale if anyone wants them.

Wouldn't it be easier to repaint the good ones?

I like the look of the OEM flat grey over the ones painted gloss black... I could repaint the rebuilt ones but id have to strip the crappy black paint off of them... Just seems to be more of a pain in the butt lol

Why strip the old, just rough it up and call it primer.
