Plastic bag method when painting calipers!
How are you guys leaving your calipers on and painting them? I'm getting my Smoothies in a couple days and I want the calipers done beforehand. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I painted my calipers with the G2 brush on kit last weekend & it was a breeze. Put the car up on all 4's....pull the wheels off, get at the calipers with a wire brush, spray them real well with brake cleaner that's included with the kit, let em dry, & start painting. I got them covered really well in 2 coats. Took my time, got them done with no masking off anything at all. Just be careful and do it right. Pretty simple...just time consuming. Took about 3 hours all together.

I masked off everything that I didn't want paint and overspray on with newpapers and shop towels. Worked out just fine, you can check out some pics. at my cardomain site. I painted them 2 years ago and the paint is holding up just fine. I keep them clean with a wheel brush when I wash the car, to keep them nice and clean.
