If you are going to use a beed blaster, do not use silica sand though. As for paint, use a high temp brake caliper paint. You can usually find it on the self at any oreilly's. Good luck...

You can pick it up anywhere though (wal-mart, Autozone, O'reilly, Pep Boys, ect.). As for paint, any regular spray paint should work. If it's the calipers, when you drop it from the rotor make sure not to stress the brake lines, or you'll be paying for alot more than paint.
