Painting calipers
Hey guys,
I bought some caliper paint a while ago and never got to actually use it, but is there any advice you'd give to someone doing it. Do you remove the calipers completely and do it or while they still in wheel well. How long does it take to dry & how many coats?
I bought some red color ones so I'll post some pictures (before ++ after)
Thank you

Take it out and do it right or get laughed at by the dealership when you go there for servicing.
Make sure you do many light coat, don't do heavy coat or it will drip. Light coat dry faster than heavy coat. Read your paint can instruction for dry time.
