Re: Removing old brake paint from calipers?

I actually found a pretty nice DIY on CRSX from a member who I believe posts here as well. Anyway the Aircraft remover seemed to make light work of the paint literally melting it off and requiring minimal wiping from the post. I ended up finding a can at my local Autozone after unsuccessful previous attempts at Home Depot and Lowes. I really want to buy some good gloves and maybe an apron before I do this, from what I hear this stuff is pretty powerful/dangerous and even my younger bro who is a chem major was a little concerned after looking at the can.

I appreciate the tip on the G2 paint too. I think I'll just use small containers for each caliper so I don't feel rushed to do all 4 of them.
