Remove, clean with wire wheel on drill, clean with brake cleaner, paint.

I used Plastikot ceramic paint. The results were great.

I would never paint it without removing them. You can not clean the caliper well enough. It will look good for awhile but ANY corrosion or dirt left behind during painting will cause problems later. You also risk getting overspray on your nice aluminum suspension parts & the rest of the car for that matter. Don't be lazy. It's a great time to flush your brake fluid & add SS lines.

Thanks bro. Pic was taken right before my JIC coilovers went on, so it's not quite the total BLING

I totally agree. I just did mine on the car this weekend with testers. It could have come out better, but it was 30 degrees in my garage. Took a few pics. Used a $3 grinding bit (in pic) because my dremel went missing. Overall it is a HUGE improvement, Now its time to get rid of these rusty rotors! I did spray on some degreaser and washed it off with water and let it dry, then painted away.

Please excuse the dirty car, Its been gross here in Ohio and I had to driver the car home from the car home from the body shop on salty roads.

I was weary of this process but once again this forum has helped. Thanks everyone!

Caliper paint doesn't last as long as you would think before it starts to fade or flake. Full disassembly + Sandblasting + engine enamel works will last years and years.

I've been wondering if you could ceramic coat them before powder coating, so perhaps there'd be less heat transfered to turn the powder brown.

1- took em off and painted
2- sprayed while on the car
3- took em off disassembled, powder coated and rebuilt < no yellowing on my PC as far as i can see.
