All of 'em look great... Got some Questions though b/c I'm thinkin of doing this: 1) Did you guys leave the caliper on the rotor and paint or take it off completely? 2) Did you spray it on or brush it on and how many coats...clearcoat? 3) What type(s) of paint did u use?
Thanks!! Any answeres are appreciated!!

Make sure you sand 'em before you paint them if you can. The paint looks like glass with the casting marks sanded off.

That looks great! What did you sand the caliper with? What grit?
