400 grit sand paper, honestly theres not much paint i hit the surface 2 or 3 times, dont go crazy sanding just sit there and chip it all off, i used a sharp piece of plastic, but to much sand paper will go through the paint, also my other caliper didnt come out as well, the clear coat was off worse and the paint itself was damaged, so if they are pealing do it now before its too late to fix them

You completely removed the caliper right? Did you take the pins and pads out?
