Just take the caliper off the bracket, remove the bracket, and paint the parts off the rotor, just dont take off the fluid line. Tape off the fluid lines and paint the metal caliper. Let dry, reinstall brake parts. You dont need to bleed the brakes after that.

The good caliper rotor paint is painted on with a brush, so, that would be even easier. No overspray.

eh.. i didnt take anything apart. i just taped everything off and prepped the surface and sprayed away. just have a can of brake cleaner ready to clean off the rotors. be sure to use a caliper paint, anything else fails miserably.

+1 True. Engine paint fails.

well, caliper paint has an additive at does a great job of repelling dirt, grime and oil so thats why i really recommend paint specifically for calipersOutToWinPAHC wrote:

yup, after i've gotten older, i definitely agree with youadrians_s13 wrote:not really a fan of painting stock calipers (you're just bringing more attention to how small your brakes are)
so i say paint them silver or black
