I hope the paint doesn't chip for you, I know using spray paint on the calipers might not stick on forever.

same here, no chipping on my calipers AND the rotors! its still lookin' good!!

good work btw, u should have taken off the calipers 1st and take those little metal pieces out then shoot it with paint. thats what i did, attention to details always pays off in the end. -but- good work.
