Glass bead or walnut shells will leave a nice smooth surface. Walnut shells take foreeeever on certain coatings. Soda blasting is harmless,too.Glass is a bit more aggresive,but still smooth. It's what we use to clean the carbon build up out of the piston ring grooves on our race engines. Glass bead then back in the hole.Its that smooth. It all depends on what you got available. Now regular blasting media like Tools is talking about will leave pits,but most paints normally can cover them. Especially brake caliper paints. They are fairly thick paints designed to go on calipers which are normally cast pieces,therefore rough textured to begin with. You caliper is aluminum,right?Polish it man
