Yeah, I just put it in my original post.

It took me about 2-3 hours per caliper including jacking, taking the wheel off, cleaning calipers, painting couple of coats, and putting the wheel back on.

More patient, the better it will look. Take your time. I got in a little hurry on my rear and it didn't turn out as good as my front caliper. But its not noticeable if your at a couple of feet.

Did you have take the brakes apart to paint them? Looks like you did. Either that, you have a steady hand! Looks good though!

[Loop]

Thanks!

Nope didn't take the calipers off. I tape it off in certain areas. Like I said it took like 2-3 hours per caliper and I really took my time to make it clean looking. The hardest part was in those small areas where I didn't want to paint. The first coat is the hardest out of all of them.

I also bought a brush set with different sizes, so that help in small areas that I didn't want to touch.
