ok, I am an idiot who rushed the job and now i am worried.
I did tape off most areas but it must have dripped or something.
I painted the calipers and i got paint on the caliber ?boots?
They seem stiff now but still flex. What are the reprocussions here now. Are there audi hp2 and rear caliper repair kits, i want to just make sure they are all good. Or where is a decent place to but new/used calipers all around. I'd like to completely recondition them, then rebleed the system. Thanks in advance.

on the boots, it may just flex and fall off with normal use - keep an eye on them. I would not try to clean them, you're likely to dmage the rubber.

The "accordian" boots are only there to keep dust/dirt away from the main seals, which are down inside the piston bores.

If you really slopped them up, they may not pass a state safety inspection (mechanics are really **** about brakes, and rightfully so).
