Removing paint from the raised letters
Paint the calipers and let them dry overnight.
Take a new 10" or so mill bastard file, new, lay it flat, lengthwise, on the letters. Move the file up and down across the letters, not lengthwise along the letters. This will remove the paint and freshen the metal. Don't get carried away, just use the file until the paint is gone.

Im not saying it wont work but the sponge can wrap around the letters where the file will lay flat and cant wrap around and touch the actual calipers.
