Wash the parts you want to paint with soap and water, then suff with a red scotch brite pad. Wash again and try painting a piece. You will notice right off if the paint isnt going to stick, if it doesnt stick sand it off and spraying a little adhesion promoter and try painting again.

What kind of paint did you use on the calipers?
