Default caliper piston rust - when to replace?

Did a search but couldn't find this question:

Just picked up some front calipers at a junk yard and I'm going to re-seal them. I haven't pulled them apart yet, but the piston is covered in surface rust (the part I can see, at least). Is this a terrible thing? Can I just clean it and re-use it or should I buy some new pistons? Any advice appreciated.
