You have a few options.

Given you are in Cali and rust isn't an issue, I'd suggest g2 caliper paint. It's an epoxy based paint which covers WAY better than aerosol stuff. It also will be more durable and it looks great.

I literally just finished doing this project this past weekend. I went with POR-15 caliper kit which includes their rust stopper. For me being in the rust belt it was what edged it out for me. The caliper paint it self is also very good.

I can suggest my procedure, take it for what's its worth. I used a wire brush on a drill to knock anything lose from the surface. Clean everything with a strong degreaser, and then a metal prep to etch the metal.

If you are fully removing the caliper then actual painting should be quite simple. I did everything while the caliper hose was attached. Painted the underside first then reassembled the next morning, and painted the outside. Take time and mask off the areas where the brake pad and hardware sits. If you paint over those areas you'll need to go back and sand them down to bare metal.


Here were some shots from the passenger side after two coats of the black sealer and two of the caliper paint.
