Hey!  Would it be a smart thing to apply POR-15 to only a small part of  the
caliper brake PISTON'S (on only the inside of the cup-like bottom) as  this
spot is so prone to rust but yet doesn't touch  anything?

No offense to those who have replied to Paul's question already,  but....
 
If he's saying what I think he's saying, I don't see how brake fluid  
normally will come in contact with the area he suggests painting, which is the  
inside of the piston -- the part that faces and presses on the pad. There's no  
fluid contact there, right?
