Hey guys,
i have some M calipers that im cleaning. i want to get them clean enough to the point where i can pain them red with caliper paint (yeah i know...ricer style (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) ). they are still loaded (ie pistons and seals in bore, and bleader valve in place). i tried rubbing alcohol....not very effective. brake cleaner says it eats rubber so, that's out of the question. |

I sandblast them, then use metal prep (phosphoric acid). Be careful of brake fluid in the sandblaster though, it ate through the rubber gloves. Rinse with alcohol after that, and before painting.
