    You could take the caliper off if you know what your doing, if not then please dont do that.

      if you have a ratchet and 15mm allen head socket, bull the caliper and rotor off.... SO much easier. if you can figure out how to get the tire off, then you can get the caliper off.... if not, you shouldnt be operating the spray paint either.

        please don't do that. if you are going to paint your calipers sand them down and make them look really good. it makes a huge difference. and it isn't that much work.
