Hi. I'm just guessing but it sounds like you might want to get some help from someone experienced in these things. I mean a real person who'll show you what to do practically. Not that the people on here aren't real of course, just that messing with the brakes may not be a good starter point for a DIY!

Paint the calipers? Get a brush and some hammerite or some proper caliper paint. No need to take them off as far as i know...(well i didn't)

As above ^^

Stuff using spray [as if you were going to prime and paint a panel]

Aye, use a brush.

it puts the paint on thicker, so more protection and colour. It's quicker than putting on multiple sprayed coats, and the paint only goes where you want it to .

Did mine by brush - goes on nice and thick.

I did the drums at the same time - black for the calipers and silver for the drums ...

I done mine with a brush and some black hammerite... you could use spray hammerite but i think its a tad messy... doesnt matter if you get a little bit on the discs as it will just burn off when u brake. If you are using spray paint tho id recommend u mask off most of the brake disc/inside arch before you start... common sense really

good choice midlady ;)

take care after you paint them,when you change the brake fluids so that no fluid interferes with the paint cuz it will make it fade away

I'll add to this.... use a brush and do NOT do what i did and paint them outside in the freezing cold in the middle of a hail-stone storm!
