I just did mine the other day also. Painted them blue to match the car. I ended up doing the front in the evening and the back the next morning. It probably took maybe an hour of actual labor. Most of the time was waitting for the paint to dry between coats and waitting the 2 hours before I could put the wheels back on.

Looks good ... I just came home from Autozone and picked up a Red Duplicolor brush-on kit. Did you do the brush-on paint? Did you have to disassemble them to paint? THanks ...
yep brushed the paint on, two coats did it for me, and took about hour and a half but i took my time and had some food in between the front and back... and no you dont have to disassemble them i just painted what i couldsee and paint.
PLstang, i just popped the wheels back on about 10 minutes or so after the second coat of paint, why did you wait two hours???

I did mine recently, Black. Not to make them stand out as such, but more the opposite. With the thin spokes on my wheels the calipers became much more visible and the crappy stained stock appearence just looked awful. I figured Blacking them would reduce their crapness, which is has done perfectly. Now, you don't notice the calipers at all really, a big improvement
