Thanks for all the positive comments. To answer your questions, krzy and Labfish:
- The kit I used was one that zoltiz bought. It seemed pretty basic and consisted of a can of paint large enough to paint at least 20 sets of calipers, a stir-stick, paint thinner, and a paint brush. We also used a toothbrush and spray-on "caliper cleaner" to clean the calipers prior to applying the paint.
- The process consisted merely of jacking up one corner of the car at the marked jack point, removing the wheel, spraying the caliper with "caliper cleaner" and scrubbing it with the paint brush, allowing about 30 seconds for the cleaner to dry, shaking the paint well (1-2 minutes) and mixing it for a few seconds, and painting the caliper.
- I only used one coat of paint, although I was careful to go back and fill in any spots I had missed the first time.
- The only thing that needed to be removed was the wheel.
- The paint probably dried for about an hour or two after application before I drove the car.
Hope this helps. I'll give you more specifics on the paint kit once I get off my butt and go look at it. Thanks again for the kind words!
