When you have done dozens of different kind of calipers you can tell easily what went wrong. Looks like your calipers were badly cleaned and wrong kind of paint was applied on bad surface. When you do a standable low cost job to "iron" calipers the easiest way is the following: - Over night citric acid bath - Rinse with hot water and brush all the nasty stuff off them - Dry them properly - Mask the areas you don't want to be painted - Paint with high temp proof caliper paint When you want better surface: - Over night citric acid bath - Rinse with hot water and brush all nasty stuff off them - Dry properly - Media blast caliper parts - Start to sand them with angle grinder until caliper is fairly smooth - Continue sand caliper parts by hand, continue until part surface is smooth - Clean all parts with acetone - Have parts powder coated - Wax and polish parts The latter method is what is usually do with iron calipers. Somtimes some extra tools are needed for caliper job. For example in his case "Porsche" text was grinded off. That was done mainly because the rear caliper had painted "Porsche" texts and we wanted to have similar look for the front ones as well
