What paint kit r u using? Duplicolor? Just make sure you clean them well. Put atleast 3 coats on. Your supposed to let it dry for 24 hours but I didn't.

We just painted black_bullet_ss's calipers and it took two of us about 90 min. Thats about 5 coats. Front and back. Its pretty easy. Get a good steal brush to clean with though. And a damp rag to wipe off any dust or anything when your done. They look great. We are doing mine tomorrow night.

Spray them clean and let them air dry, use a product called BRAKE CLEAN as its the only thing that cleans all the crap out of the metal good enough for paint to stick good.
