Caliper paint Q:

I'm going to paint my calipers next week and need two questions answered.

1) Does the black plate come off or do i need to mask it off?
2) If i clean it with brake cleaner, will the logo come off?

I used the Dupli-Color BCP400 Red Brake Caliper Kit for $29 on Amazon. The brush is really bad but the paint is really good
