i've taped off everything, wiped grease and brake dust, if you get some paint on rotor dont worry, it will come off first time you hit youre brakes

I bought the Foliatek Calliper paint. $50 CDN a can. comes with brake cleaner and hardener. You apply it with a brush....Pricy but lifetime warranty. resists heat, chemicals.

I asked everything else off, fine wire brushed/steel whool'd them and then used SPECIAL brake caliper paint. I head normal paint can flech off easily and can become permanently discolored by brake dust.
