LoL....Ok people....Clearly from the responses I don't know what I am doing. I can certainly laugh at myself and glad u'all can laugh to. Ah, don't want to Google it. Can someone give me some good advise.

If you want to do a good job, you need to disasemble them, paint them off the car, all the prep work etc. Then re-install after their cured, bleed the brake system.

As far as what paint you should use, well thats up to debate. Dupli-Color caliper paint is nice.

CM8 6MT - Thanks!

I use the duplicolor brush on with good results. The up side is less prep work and don't have to mask much or worry about overspray.

I've used g2 brake caliper kit with good results. Leaves a hard enamel like paint. Easy to clean and durable

I use Rustoleum oil base in a can. Lays on thick and shines great. Learned it from a Dodge forum.
