    I'm not sure how you mean - these are marinating in Evaporust after a run in the ultrasonic cleaner with PurplePower

    My original plan was to smack 'em with a wire wheel on my die grinder, but a regular wire brush might be all they need...
    (I'm not going to go full-MyMechanics on them and file away casting marks/etc.)

    But after three coats of the VHT caliper paint I'm guessing they'll be pretty decent...

      On the car they are not going to be clean and get dirty quickly so it’s fairly pointless if you actually use the car imo. Make them inconspicuous imo
