Default Caliper prep and paint

Has anyone used the duplicolor caliper paint kit?
I'll be preping my G60's before I put them on and want to do it right. I dont have access to any sand blasting equipment.

Default Agreed, I used brake cleaner and a wire brush, then used caliper paint, worked fine.

Terrible picture, but you get the idea.
