Prep before painting calipers/brackets?
Prep before painting calipers/brackets? Got the rattle cans I plan on doing my calipers with. Will be using Duplicolor metalcast. Comes with a base paint and then the blue paint Im doing the calipers in. The brackets are going to be done with a black engine enamel. My question is what to do to ensure the calipers are clean and ready for paint beforehand? I have done calipers before but just quick shitty jobs without even taking the calipers off the car. Would the engine enamel hold up on the brackets and would a clear engine paint be ok to go over decals? Thanks in advance
Hi-I powder coated mine, but i did my daughter's Mustang with a Vista blue paint kit specifically designed for calipers-I'll try to locate the name of company or u can "google" 
p.s. the kit comes with a brake cleaner spray

I would say get some high grit sand paper and some brake cleaner. I prepped mine that way with intentions of painting them but got distracted and never got around to actually doing them.
