1. Take off tire... if you need me to explain this, pls leave now :grin:
2. You can either take it off and paint it or leave it on and do it as well.
Clean caliper with alcohol and rag. Make sure you get in the crevices and all that.
3. I used a small paint brush I got at Walmart, and caliper paint I got from Autozone.
4. Paint caliper. I only did two coats. Did one caliper, then the other, then went back over the other... you get the point.
5. Let dry overnight. Be careful when you put the tires back on, don't chip your nice new paint job.

I'll post pics later when I get home.... I think I have a few step by steps.
