as title says its my first ever how to it may not be the best it may not be the worst but hey i tried 
if anyone wants to contribute by all means
Painting brake calipers
Step 1 - jacking the car and remove the wheel
Notice how close the jack was to the skirts and almost poop myself
jacking the car
Removing the wheel
Step 2 - Preparation
ok all seriousness here i cannot stress enough when painting its all in the preparation the better prep work the better the finish ALWAYS any garage which paints will aggree with this
Notice how calipers look before hand
moving onto a dremmel with a sanding attachment
this next picture is with the dremmel after 5-10 minutes of work
notice how shiny the caliper is after about 25-30 mins of work the dremmel makes short work of it which would usualy take about 2 hours of hand work make sure to clean every so often with a cloth to remove the loose dust use some water and then dry the caliper
step 3 - The painting of caliper
this is the easy part just take your time in nice even strokes with light strokes for the first coating of the caliper.
make sure your paint is mixed properly and is looking good strap on some rubber gloves if you dont want to get paint all over yourself
here is the finished first coating of the caliper i'll do another 1 maybe 2 coats to give a harder better appearance on the caliper and notice i didnt mask the brake pads as i'm changing them next month any way but make sure not to get paint on moving areas E.G. caliper piston the sliding rods at back of the caliper, brake disc and brake pads and just some genreal common sense on where not to go if you dont hink it should then dont do it hope this has helped a little for you
good ol finished results
