Mods, please move if you wish.
Ok,
I painted my calipers this weekend.
Lot harder than I thought.
I got the duplicolor kit at Autozone for $15.00
It took about 4 hours each side (front and rear).
I completely disassembled the caliper from the wheel and removed the pads.
Cleaned thouroughly with the included cleaner and a toothbrush.
It says you can re-assemble after 2 hours. Don't.
I recommend letting them sit over night before re-installing pads.
I applied 4 coats at 20 minute intervals.
Here are the results.
