aircraft stripper works the best, at your local autoparts store.

If you can get the caliper off use a wire wheel on a bench grinder and a regular wire brush to get the rest. If you don't take them off use a wire brush on a die grinder. That shit came right off for me just protect you eyes and face.

usually (unless he has armor coated paint) he justs let it sit on there for about 5 min and spray it with water and it will fall right off. i would recommend taking the calipers off before you do any of this.
