Eeek I hope you masked off the exterior of your car around the wheel well.

I'm an expert painter.. Didn't need to mask anything off cause I don't overspray.. Its rained the last two days and I can't get outside to take any pics without the camera getting soaked.. I'll post pics ASAP..

You can get the G2 stuff and put it on my brush if you're sloppy.

The best way to do this would be to pull the calipers and have them on a bench to paint. Or you could powdercoat them if you really wanted to.

Steve I was gonna go with the G2 kit but I figured since I was painting them black that it didn't matter what I used.. The spray is just as good when you are painting them a color that isn't that noticeable in the first place..

True. I've used the G2 kit on several vehicles and it holds up well. I figured I'd just stick with what works.

I used spray too. They didn't have g2 paint on blue when I did mine. Came out nice and its been holding up great. When I wash my car im going to pull the wheels off and clean the calipers.

how well did you clean em. did you just spray on some brake cleaner and hose em off? i was thinking of pulling em off and taking a wire brush to em. really get em clean. i only wanna have to paint em once.

It took me hours to clean mine. Until they were flawless. Brake cleaner / acetone. Also tried a steam cleaner but that didn't do anything.

I used some wheel cleaner first, scrubbed, used degreaser, scrubbed, sprayed off, wiped down and dried with heat gun..

Then I sprayed and the rest is history.. They look great used 3 coats of spray and would have used some clear coat if I had it with me but I didn't.. I am not really concerned as I stated before because they are black..
