I took the calipers to work today thinking I'd get them rebuilt there but I didn't realise how long it would take to clean them up.

The one slider was a right pain to get out, it took awhile to get it moving and a lot of effort to get it out.

The back of the carriers and part of the calipers hadn't been painted so it was very corroded in those areas.

The one on the right was the second tempt. I was surprised at how slow and time consuming sand basting these was.

I blasted down the slider holes to get all the rust out.

I would have liked to have had them rebuilt today so I could take the car to work to get the clutch done but it looks like I'll be spending tomorrow carry on cleaning these up.

Has anyone had calipers powder coated before? Would powder coating be ok with brake fluid?
