Chem-dip and front brake calipers

Anybody use Berryman's Chem-dip carb cleaner to clean their calipers inside and out? I have a set of calipers from a 78 LTD that I want to clean up and strip the old paint off of and I was thinking of just dipping them. Any saged advice?

Hmmm.. Never thought to try that. Seems like it would work, but make sure that you remove any rubber or plastic parts that you plan on keeping. Also, make sure that you get all of that stuff cleaned out of all passages. You don't want to contaminate your break fluid. That could be disastrous.

Hey good stuff! not as good as "Gunk" Solder Seal" The best ever! If you have this stuff the EPA will be at your door step! with a white Tyvec suit, along with the Democrats and Nacy Plblowme!
Whatever???????????????

You need to media blast your parts!
Are not you with Jeff in Rochester? Diamond Blue?
Don't you have a media blaster in the shop????
If not head East 90 miles to Buffalo and I'll blast them for you.

That does look good! I guess I was just concerned with changing the highly polished finished inside the area where the piston goes.
Thanks for the info!
