    Looks good to me, there are other areas spotfaced machined at holes too. Yes wiz wheel, scotch brite and sand disc all work well.

        You're welcome for the photo.

        I just tape them off when I paint, then use acetone to remove any paint still on the machined areas. It works much better than trying to sand them or whatever. Q-tips work great.

        I've even removed paint in these areas from fully-painted calipers.
        You're making it much tougher than it needs to be by sanding them or whatever.
