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:

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.

Well nice insperations! Yellow is the best!
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.
