I’ve bitten the bullet & bought a new OEM set of front calipers for my 200tdi Defender. I intend painting them before fitting but wonder if there’s any special preparation I should carry out before painting?

I didn't prep mine, just painted them straight out the box with high temp caliper paint from halfrauds. Lasted the 10 years I had the vehicle for.
Recently did my d2 calipers with the same stuff. I used the brush on paint (not the spray)
