Reply to "Seeking recommendations for cleaning brake calipers in preparation for painting."

I’m making some progress on the caliper prep. After the carb dip I brushed it with a stainless steel toothbrush to get the lose rust off. Next was to soak it in Evapo-Rust. After removing it from the Evapo-Rust I rinsed it with water and brushed it with a nylon brush then sprayed it with brake cleaner to remove the moisture. Here is what it looks like after spending 2 days soaking in Evapo-Rust. I’m very happy with this result. It is clean bare metal.
