I had Jim do mine. He did an excellent job. First take off the tire and find some old t-shirts. They fit best between the calipers & rotor. Cover as much of the rotor as possible with the t-shirts. Turn the wheel so as to have the caliper as far from the inner fender well. Use short crisp blasts of paint. We used a Krylon color of gold for mine. Let the first coat sit a bit before adding another coat. If you are afraid of getting paint on the inner fender well tape it off. That is all we did to mine and they look awesome. I will insert a couple of pics for you to look at.
I hope that helped.

It is an easy and cheap mod that makes a statement. What color did you choice for the calipers?

It's all about Prep Dan ......... for spray, a lot of detail taping off after cleaning and your job will come out sweet .....
Did mine both ways, brushed it the first time, sprayed it last time, cover everyting you don't want caliper color (grin)
