my front brakes were virgin... just a matter of scuffing and alcohol and they were ready for paint.
cleaning, wirebrushing, and sanding my rear brakes was quite a pain in the ***.

This stuff is good:
But only if you want results like this:
And only if you still want them to look as good as this after 3-years:

painted mine red, just went to advanced auto and bought red caliper paint. took the calipers off my car, cleaned em and painted, 2yrs later they still look good...except the rear's which were replaced and the previous owner did a horrible job painting them

G2 caliper epoxy. Enough for all 4 in one kit. Easy, shiny, durable (so far), and harder than chinese arithmetic.
I used brake cleaner, then a few applications of paint stripper, then brake cleaner again, for prep.
Then a piece of 240 grit on a flat surface to sand the paint off the "PORSCHE" letters. A mill is cooler, but its like giving an elephant a tic-tac.

Dimitri,keep in mind that the brake has moving parts which dont like to be painted!Dont soak your calipers like that...Watch the diffrence on later pics.
