Getting all my ducks in a row for installing my Goodridge SS brake lines, Hawk pads, and Centric rotors. Since I'm going to paint the calipers and carriers while they're off the car I was wondering if anyone has recommendations on brands of paint I should use?

Bigger question though, when I flush and bleed the brakes, how much fluid do I need? I'm going to have to order Motul DOT 4 and I've never flushed/bled them before so I'm not sure how much I should order. And, when I search for Motul DOT 4 I get several different part numbers, is there a specific one I should be looking for?

2008 Altima Coupe 2.5 btw.

Cant help you on the fluid question...

But I can give some input for the paint. I used G2 epoxy/paint. Its a brush on self leveling so you dont have to worry about it being uneven, also quite durable. However, I painted while everything was still on the car, which is kind of what the kit is for. If you are going to have it off the car, you might want to look into something else since you will have more access. I personally would stay away from sprays, they tend to chip and fade over time. Whatever you do decide, be sure to not glob it on to the insides or you will hating yourself when you go to re-install.
