Rear Caliper Paint Preparation

Stripped the paint off using VHT paint stripper.  It was more reluctant to come off than the lacquer from the front fork tubes.  I used nearly half a can on this lot - which is costly.  I will look for some cheaper paint stripper.

I would really like to pop these in an Ultrasonic cleaner now just to clean the passages and other places difficult to reach.  Need to buy one first.

Several questions:

1.  Do I paint or powder coat?
2.  If painting, what do I use to prepare the part with (my last couple of painting attempts have resulted in some bubbling when I have cured them).
