Good luck - it's not difficult at all. What paint are you using? G2 kit is a great kit and holds up very well.

One of these days I'll paint my calipers (probably after I get rims that show them off, as my stockers suck to show off brakes).

But, GOOD LUCK! I'm sure they'll come out fine (just make sure the caliper is good and clean when you do it.

So what color are you going to paint them. I think you kinda need to use a high heat paint. I'm not sure if the krylon paint would hold up IDK.

Krylon, as far as I know is better on plastic without use of a Primer. Not a good Idea for Brakes where there would be heat.
