ya brake part cleaner is a bad way to prep for paint. you need to go get cleaner made for paint prep. it will get worse, get some paint stripper, (aircraft cleaner) strip the brakes, get paint prep cleaner, make sure the brakes are completely dry and then paint them again, let the paint paint cure a little bit then go out and get the caliper hot so the paint cures to the max
