I used VHT stuff ( http://www.pjhbrands.com/vht/breakcaliper.htm ) ...cost me CAD$8.00 per can, so that's about USD$5.00. Sprayed it into a dixie cup and used a sponge brush to apply. Did 3 coats and it's done...so simple, no disassembly required.

For those who paint their calipers, doesnt break fluid take away the paint, so how long does it take before it starts looking ugly. whats the procedure to painting them, can you like bake the paint on so it doesnt come off?

I saw this web site too. I am shocked that they don't have a black paint.

okay... so I might be a little naive... but what's this big deal about painting the rear calipers?? is that not cool or something?
not sure what the issue would be... if you pickedup 4 new brembos... they would probably be all gold. I think that looks sweet.
