I left the calipers on the paint kit is 15$ at pepboys it comes with a brush and tape to cover the bleed lines and the screws if u want u can take the calipers off but that would just make more trouble

there is that kind of paint duplicolor or they also make a different brand that comes in spray paint but to whoever decides to paint make sure its high tempeture caliper paint some might think that regular spray paint is enough infact your brakes can catch on fire if u dont use hightempeture caliper paint....also after you are done you need to use clear coat thats made for engines so that when you wash your tires you cant clean the brakes just as good...
