Default Brake fluid to remove caliper paint and bleed screw size

I had previously done my rear calipers blue, I had planned to do the front this weekend. Having looked at the car(its silver), ive decided I'll do all 4 calipers silver.

Any danger to using brake fluid to remove the caliper paint, ive heard its a very effective paint stripper.

Anyone also the size of the bleed screws on a 02' 307 1400hdi

I've heard brake fluid is effective for stripping paint. Not sure what it'll do to the integrity of the caliper (if that's what you're asking) I'll see if I can find anything.

The main reason I'm replying is to ask you where you got your caliper paint from, cos I want to get some in red

I got some hammerite and it did last and would have probably lasted for a long time. I did find the shade to be a bit dull, maybe I should have added a coat of lacquer on the top. Just going with silver this time, 307 is silver so makes more sense than blue.
