These were media blasted but media was inside the calipers. Media + brake fluid =
Last pictures shows what happens when your calipers are painted and not disassembled. This happens if for any reason you need to separate them:
Well not only that, but there are other issues you'll encounter when you have your calipers painted. Now don't get me wrong, paint has it's place as I have a degree in Automotive Refinishing so I have absolutely nothing against paint........ just not for calipers.

My newest color. House of Kolor Kameleon Red to Gold. It looks killer in the sunlight. Sorry about the crappy cell phone pics. I just ordered a DSLR so maybe finally I'll be able to get some decent pics soon.
