Leaning towards POR-15, just because I could do successive coats over time without the limits of a can of activated epoxy like G2. But...going to do a brake fluid test at some point first. I dont mind having to touch it up if the brake fluid crazes it a little bit. But if its total failure or something then I may use the red G2 on the calipers themselves and POR-15 on the brackets.silverarrow27 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 26, 2023 11:55 pmUpdate us on which you ended up using for calipers. I'll be painting my new calipers some time this spring as well.

I am not sure I needed to add these extra steps But I figured I want the zinc coating in the bores and threads while also getting everything else painted. So extra steps it is! Tried sand paper and acid, but the Dremel wire brush is by far the fastest and easiest.
Yeah - I've got a couple things also from Rustoleum that are very similar. And for a specific purpose, just straight phosphoric acidTooMuchControl wrote: ↑Sat Apr 08, 2023 4:55 pmFor brackets (rear sway), I've had tremendous results with Krud Cutter Rust Remover.
Not sure what this stuff is made from, but you can soak small pieces in it for a couple of days, cleans down to the pores without raising a finger, and leaves a Superman rust preventative coating on it that looks pretty much impregnable.
