Finally Painted Brake Calipers!! TONS OF PICTURES!!
After a few months of debating, I finally decided to take a day out of my weekend to paint my calipers. Decided on red with the white F Sport logo since it looks best with my Ultra White. I took some pictures from beginning to end. The final result was a deep, rich, and glossy red that pops when looking at the car from a side profile. This took lots of prep, taping, and patience but overall I am extremely happy and satisfied with the results.

Here is what mine looks like.
I did take out the rear caliper from the bracket. It's held on by two 12mm (I think) bolts. I slides out easily from the bracket and you can mask the brake pads and all other components.
As long as you don't disconnect the brake hose, you don't need to bleed the brake.
