Hi,

I've just wire-brushed my calipers prior to painting. I've done a couple 
of sets. One set I seperated 'cause I wound up using a grease gun to get 
the pistons out... that was a messy-messy job getting the grease out of 
the passages! But the most recent set was a piece of cake (the pistons 
came out easily with a screwdriver and some persuasion) and I just used my 
bench grinder with 6" wire brushes... the whole job took maybe two hours 
(to strip, wire brush and paint), add another hour for painting.

I used Duplicolor silver brake caliper paint.

Regards,
rml
