I painted my calipers also.Me and a couple of my friends painted them about a year ago. All we did was raise the car and put it on jack stands. Then we took of the wheel. Cleaned the caliper with a steel brush. Put newspaper all around the parts we didnt want paint on. Used Primer. Then we sprayed on high temp spraypaint. I havent put gloss on my calipers yet but i will soon. If you have any questions, shoot me a line.

make sure if you prime it its a high temp primer ... dont want to have the primer bubble and ruin the paint from braking

I bought spray paint for wall-mart for $3.95. It was Engine Enamel labled. Chevrolet Orange in color. I put it on and it hasnt chipped faded or anthing since the day I sprayed it, and that was 9 months ago.

i used acrylic paint and just a regular brush. it looked a little dull, but i liked that. Now, since installing new brake pads, they are pretty covered in dust but it still looks Ok.

autozone sells it. its called VHT its for calipers and drums. also Dupli-color has a kit that you brush on
