You can use a popsicle stick to stir it. If you go to michaels just make sure you get a kind of stiff 1/2" brush. As far as the mixing refer to the instructions. Prepare to spend about a day on painting, depending on how in detail you go and how many coats you want.

uh dude it doesnt matter.. just paint them.. no big deal.. lol theres no right size brush to paint with.. and it didnt come with intrustions because whats the need for it.. its common sense..
step 1. take off caliper(or leave them on whatever your preference is) CLEAN
step 2. open paint
step 3. stir paint
step 4. paint caliper however mouch you prefer
step 5. let dry

I went to lowes, bought a $3 can of red rustoleum and a .50 cent paintbrush. Three-ish hours later (three coats), done. Best looking $3.50 ever haha (still have 2/3 can of paint left)

Yeah but I have the high gloss never fades stuff. I went with quality over quantity.

1/2oz reactor to the 4 oz can of paint. I just got the kit myself, but haven't used it yet. The brush is about a half-inch. I can scan instructions and PM you a link if you want. Cuz I'm a lot nicer than most folks here.

G2 recommends you paint your calipers in temps between 50 and 70 degrees. The hotter it is out the faster the paint hardens and you would probably like a little time to work with it. And once you mix the reactor and the paint, you need to get 'er done as quick as possible before the paint hardens in the can.
