I disassembled my calipers yesterday. Took out all the rigns. But Problem is, before i paint my caliper, i can't clean it. I sprayed lots of Brake cleaner and used brush, but 14-year-old brake dust won't come out. how should i clean it? Air Compressor spray?

I would just scrub it down as much as possible with wire brushes and brake parts cleaner. If it's baked on that well, it'll probably hold paint OK too.

English, please! Don't know what you are asking in that language.
