Caliper paint removal

[Jaywalker]

What is the easiest/best way to remove paint from brake calipers? I bought some Brembos with 2 layers of paint on them. Red over yellow, and it needs to go before I can either repaint, or powder coat them.

Aircraft remover would work well. But make sure you use it in a well ventilated space, wear gloves and a mask. It’s really nasty stuff.

take them to a paint shop & ask to have them bead-blasted.

Thanks guys. Both good ideas. I'll check the bead blast option, and see what gives. I'll use the chemical DIY as a fallback...

Brake cleaner works great too.
