From what others have said, if you track your car, it will no hold up. Even calipers that come powder coated don't always hold up to extreme track conditions.

Am definitely thinking abouit painting the calipers on my MY05. I have seen some references to putting the car up on stands to do this. Why? Is it just a convenience issue or is there some compelling reason to jack up the car? Thank you.

It makes life alot easier if you pull the wheels. Access is very limited if you don't which will make prepping and painting a real pain.......either that or you won't be able to get very complete coverage. Also it gives you a good excuse to clean the wheels - including the back/insides.

Good luck,

I would only do it with it on stands.
