Default I have....

For best results you need to take them off of the car. Clean with a wire brush, then lacquer thiner. Paint with high-temp ENAMEL engine paint. Let cure overnight and reinstall. DO NOT GET BRAKE FLUID ON THE PAINT!!

Default Thanks man, one question...

Is it a pain to take them off the car? I have never messed
with brakes so this will be a new experience for me.
