I did red..
I recommend that you remove the calipers and use a wirebrush wheel type ona drill to clean the caliper.
it's got to be clean bofore you use the ceramic paint or it will peel off and look like crap in a year.

If any other car did it, people here would say "rice"

You just wipe it off.. I have a black car.. so I am accustomed to cleaning. But no. It has not been a problem.
