Stan,
Where do I start?? I did take mine apart, with no problems at all.? I used a
bench grinder with a wire brush attached, as well as multiple coats of naval
jelly, x-acto knives, small screwdrivers and many other implements I cant
remember.? But I am certain there was no rust left when I finished.? I just
used tape, and small pieces of cloth to cover and fill holes before painting.?
I cant remember exactly what I used for final paint prep.? But it seems to have
worked well, whatever it was.

What are people doing to prep the calipers for painting ?. Is it possible to
media blast them without having to take them apart to get all of the blast
media out ?

Hi Joe,
I just used some Dupli-color hi-temp paint and painted mine red.? The paint
has stood up quite nicely though there is always brake dust to dull the look.?
You can see the before and after pictures at the triumphowners web site listed
below.? The prep work took most of the time.? The paint work was pretty
simple.? Sorry, I lost the close-up pics of the calipers on the car with my KN
wheels when my hard drive bit the dust.
