Taking them off is easy, and use specific caliper paint, not just any paint, caliper paint has ceramic in it to better bond to the metal and stuff

my calipers were kinda rusty when I bought the car, so I slapped some black tremclad on with a brush the next day.... a year later and it still looks fantastic, who'da thunk it
