Default Clunking noise?

So last week I painted my calipers and left them over the weekend to dry. When I took a drive afterwards I noticed that there's this weird clunk noise coming from the front driver's side. It only occurs whenever I hit little speed bumps or manholes.

I really doubt painting my calipers caused this but maybe it did? Only suspension mods I have are Hotchkis Springs. Any ideas?

Properly or improperly? It was perfectly fine before I painted the calipers....
