Default paintin break calipers

I am going to paint my calipers this weekend and was wondering if there are any little screws, valves, etc that I need to watch out for? Also, how many coats did it take and how long before driving (I am guessing a day)
thanks

I used 3 coats of G2 and couldn't be happier with the results. I just carfuly taped around the rubber parts....also took the dremel with a bunch of sanding disks and ground down all the rough spots and casting marks....(don't know if anyone else will ever notice but I can tell a big difference)....The best advice I could offer would be to buy a high quality artist brush if you are using a brush on method......the POS brush I bought left little hairs on my first coat (big pain in the a$$!)
Due to the weather mine sat for about three days but 24hrs should be fine....I think it said something like this in the G2 directions

Good luck.....you will love the look afterwards!
