I did it in black with Duplicolor's brush on ceramic caliper paint kit. No masking, etc.

All the auto part stores generally carry Duplicolor kits.

Yup. Calipers were pretty new/clean. Sprayed them with brake cleaner that comes in the kit and brushed them while on the car, no masking or anything.I've seen the DIYs and there's always overspray. This worked nicely. Just a few minutes per wheel. Dries quickly. Did a second quick coat just because it went so fast. Done.

Yea that is the way to go, I hate overspray my underneath looks brand new still, I don't want that cramp all over the place.so you just removed the tire, and painted? Sounds great!

Congratulations on your sale! It's closer to what I call JDM red (like on the emblems) than the other caliper reds out there.

I just sold the red because I'm going to do blue instead
I like the look of stoptech blue brakes but until I have the money for that, i'll just paint mine blue lol
plus i'm planning on using it for a couple of things under the hood too

No I just got spray instead. I think the brush on might be easier, but oh well, I already had the spray
