if you can take your tire off, you cant fuck it up. you prolly wouldnt even have to take the caliper off, if your just doing it for the look then why paint the back that nobody can see right?

when I did mine i used a dremel with a wire brush type head, used it on the whole thing and they looked brand new again, and the paint is wicked easy its like painting anything else. And its just a 1 stage paint, you dont have to prime it or clear coat it or anything just throw the paint on and your set

You have a few extra bucks? You know you can fit z06 calipers on there with vette rotors, though it will end up being around 800 bucks for everything including the c5 brackets

am i the only one that sees NO point in painting brake calipers? They are brakes people, they are there to stop the damn car, not look pretty.
