I used the paint from <a href="http://www.legendfive.com/">Legend5</a>. It comes in two cans that you mix, then brush on. After mixing the two, it's VERY thin. I left the calipers on the car when I did it. Be prepared to wipe up any paint that gets on the rotor, and make sure you have something on the ground to catch the drips. I went around the car 3 times, and there was plenty of paint left over, I even painted the backs of the brake pads. Then I let the car sit overnight.

can you pretty much paint the whole caliper freely? no hazard spots?

When will anyone learn that only PORSCHE has colored calipers!!!

Don't get any paint on the piston/seal assembly, or the slider assembly. If you paint it on the car, dont let any paint get on the rotor or pad surface. I had some thinner close by to remove anything that got on the caliper. I just painted the front and top of the caliper, basically just the visible parts. I also painted the caliper bracket.

They are my brakes, and it's my car. I'll do what I like.

There's always a critic.

Before painting, I used brake cleaner and wire brush to scrub the heck out of the caliper and bracket.
