Brake Calipers Factory Finish Guys,
Does anyone know if our factory calipers are painted silver, or are they bare aluminum? All I wanna do is restore them to their factory glory- no fancy powdercoating/painting. Just OEM.

They were not silver painted originally. Not sure if they had any kind of light coating that was protecting the aluminum though.

I feel as if the dremel with a wire brush will produce a different finish all together- perhaps something not as abrasive- any suggestions fellas?? I will look into the Acid as I work in a dealership!

A wire wheel would definitely not be the answer if you want an assembly line finish.
The acid wash would probably be a better bet.
