How hard would it be to paint my calipers red? Any info tips or anything like that would be appreciated.

Default Not to be mean but...

If you paint your stock calipers red they will look so small. It will draw attention to how small they are.

Black wouldn't be too bad though.

Default I painted mine red, they look sweet.

Get manifold paint, that works too. Clean them with a degreasing agent.
