3800 Caliper Painting

[got3800.com]

(the question that i came up with was what type of caliper paint vince used on his calipers, im trying to find the best proven way to do this)

vince, in response:

i had someone local tell me, wessel and rodeo (wessel is on here and rodeo is a friend), tell me that if you take a pencil grinder with a abrasive wheel to it, grind/sand out most of the cast marks/bumps, and then coat it a couple times with brake cleaner that it works out pretty good and that it doesnt chip (not proven by me yet but what they stated)....

It would be more worth it just to powder coat them. It's going to start wearing away eventually if it doesn't start chipping before that.
