Alright i just gota few questions i wanna ask and hopefully someone could answer them, i didnt't really find and thing helpful in some of the other threads. I bought this brake caliper paint today by Plasti-Kote and i was wondering what i needed to buy if anything to clean my calipers before painting? also how do i take them off so i cant paint them and are there any parts on it that i shouldnt paint over? thanks.
i use brake cleaner, as well as a wire brush bit on a drill. gotta get them looking like new before you paint.
i'd also suggest clear coating the crap outta them when your done. i did like 5 coats of paint and 8 coats of clear coat. its been a full year and they are still flawless.
Yea i got a caliper "paint kit" it came with a little can of paint and a can of spray that cleans the dirt off the calipers. Make sure you clean them before you paint them, and clean them good, dont do a half assed job(im not saying you will, but im just making sure)

you don't necessarily need to get them off the rotor. i didn't. i just turned the wheel out and tossed a plastic bag around the rotor. some people have taken them off, but its not required.
