Default Painting Calipers

So I want to paint or powdercoat my calipers. What are some steps and precautions I should take when doing this. I have a spare set so I figured I will put some spice behind my new wheels. As far as concerns, should I buy a new set of seals just to be safe, plugging off any holes, and prepping the calipers for paint.

Thanks for the help!

g2 caliper paint. imo best stuff out there. comes with a cleaner and all you do is spray it on, let it sit, get a wire brush and scrub your calipers down. some people even take a dremel tool to smooth out the calipers but took much work for me. after they're clean, paint them and let'em sit.

Did you stencil the S2000 out of paper, then paint it on the caliper or those some high temp stickers? I have been wanting to do that for some time now.
