Make sure you clean the calipers real good before you paint them. That is the kit I used and it works really well. Good luck man, the plug change is always a good time.

the hardest part of that job will be finding the patients to wait in between coats of paint, pads are a short job. should take about 30-45 min depending on what tools you have i.e air compressor. it is recommended that you paint the calipers why pads arre off and do all 4 at once. just take you time it will turn out great

not having one only add a few minutes busting lug nutz. no biggie, still a quick job. i dont have one but my neighbor does. hey buddy. i also painted my calipers one side at a time i think 4 coats on each one. there is still enought paint to do another set. and just to be honest i did not paint where i could not see. i usually dont take short cuts but it was late and i had to pack for work. they still look bad *** and no one besides you guys will ever know that the back side isnt painted
