Re: painted caliper?
i've taped off everything, wiped grease and brake dust, if you get some paint on rotor dont worry, it will come off first time you hit youre brakes

Re: painted caliper?
I bought the Foliatek Calliper paint. $50 CDN a can. comes with brake cleaner and hardener. You apply it with a brush....Pricy but lifetime warranty. resists heat, chemicals.

Re: painted caliper?
I asked everything else off, fine wire brushed/steel whool'd them and then used SPECIAL brake caliper paint. I head normal paint can flech off easily and can become permanently discolored by brake dust.
