sorry bout that wait guys it's been busy. I used a $15 kit from advance autoparts that came with a spray can of caliper degreaser and cleaner and red paint with ceramic in it which supposedly makes it good to 500 degress. O and by the way I DID take the wheels off and my buddy shined em up for me cuz he idk really really wanted to lol. I have huge hands and I tend to be messy with paint so I figured that since these are brand new wheels it was best to take the wheels off. I put three coats of paint on each caliper. Each coat requires like 10-15 minutes to set before you put the next coat on so it took quite a while but i still think it's worth it cuz it looks awesome...plus my wheels got super detailed. Cleaning the calipers was also kinda time consuming, the spray can shoots out an assload of cleaner with just a tap and I scrubbed the calipers with a tooth brush. I was kind of discouraged right after I was done cuz the finish seemed kind of dull. However, after I drove it for a few minutes it heated up the calipers and now the paint has really hardened up and it's a nice glossy finish.
