Painting rusty calipers with POR15

So before I get rims I want my ugly rusted calipers taken care of. I did a search and came across POR15 and decided I liked what I saw so I tried it. After taping off pistons, bleeder valves, sliders and threaded holes I proceeded with the 3 part system. First step was cleaning with marine clean, a water based degreaser. Second step was metal ready. This helps etch the metal and remove some rust as well. Last is spraying the POR15 black. I just followed the instructions on the can. Overall it was pretty easy. Ill post pics of the results later.

The cleaning stuff is water based but the rest is pretty bad. I had a nice buzz going when I was done. Gonna do some touch up later with everything still on the car this time just masked off. It was getting late so I had to put it back together sooner than I wanted too, ended up with a few scuff marks.
