I know I saw this somewhere on NAM but cannot find it again! Gah. I know someone here sanded down their stock brake calipers till it's totally smooth and then painted them. What was used? Was it 80 grit sand paper with a sander?

 

I think as long as they are clean, and you use primer,
it will work out fine. I do not know if you need
high temperature paint (in which case you would
probably not use primer).

I normally clean stuff with brake cleaner
and/or xylene (cheap from home depot).

 

i think he just wants to make sure theyre smooth first... can blame ya it'd be muuch better.

but FWIW i used the Duplicolor brush on kit for mine, and wow, that stuff smooths out great... not 'sanded great'.. but great lol
