    While searching for others with painted calipers the results were scattered. So if you painted or used a cover on yours post up a pic. Here I'll start.Pretty easy to do. Get brake cleaner,sand paper and a wire brush. Spray, scrub,spray, sand,spray. Remove any dust then the smart thing to do would be tape or wrap in newspaper the other parts. You can either get a brush and do it by hand after spraying the paint into the can's lid or spray directly if taped off well.

    Decided to tape this and paint.

    Why do you have Tanabe and K&N stickers on your car? Personally, I'd just leave the calipers alone.

    Looks good with the wheels due to the spoke spacing!
