This isn't so bad when you compare this to the quality of most parts store rebuilt alternators, starters, and power steering racks.
It helps if the brake calipers are powder coated. My '00 Buick still has its factory original calipers and the black powder coat is still like new if you wipe off the brake dust and road grime. But then again, we don't have salt all over the roads here...

I used to always paint new calipers with G2 caliper paint before installing them. The stuff is great and lasts really well.
