Heres your write-up. LOL
1. Jack up car.
2. Remove wheels.
3. Tape off calipers with newspaper and tape.
4. Paint with Caliper Spray Paint, 2-3 coats.
5. Let dry.
6. Remove newspaper and tape.
7. Put wheels back on.
8. Lower car.
9. Drive.

Nope. I forgot to add that I did use brake cleaner and a fine steel wool to clean them up before painting them.
