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. |

last year I used break cleaner and wire wheeled/ wire brushed mine before I painted them with high temp engine paint. I then baked them in my oven at 200 degrees (oh ya, my wife was not pleased.) The paint has held up just fine since then. be careful about getting brake fluid on the paint though, works just like a solvent. I think the "Mini" Reds look great.
