oh yea but you'll need more than just one can of brake cleaner... you probably end up using 2-3 cans...
Correct me if I'm wrong, but with G2 you brush it on, you don't spray, so it doesn't get everywhere.

Plus I'm going to sand mine down, I'm going for showcar mirror finish

Yup you are correct. If you are going to sand it down you are going to have to take the caliper completly off, which i did then hung it with wire hangers and sprayed them lightly with 6 coats... its came out great...

Why would I have to take it off? I was going to try to do it on the car. I have a Dremel to get rid of the casting marks, and the just use different grades of sand paper.

Would it be enough to take the caliper off from the car, but still leave the line attached to it? That way it will still have some room for movement. I'm trying to avoide bleeding my brakes.
