Wow I love the look of these calipers. What are the steps involved to do this? I want to paint mine. Do I have to remove the calipers to do this?

I sanded 320 grit, taped it and sprayed it. For my front I took out the pads to just clean the inside and put anti-squeal. So you do not need too take off the calipers.
I painted the rotor centers aswell

I'd love to skip the paint but don't have the 3 grand for brembos yet. $49.00 for g2 paint will have to do now.

This is what I used

You can go to an auto body paint supply store and they have a 2 part spray cans with real automotive paints in them. There like 20-25 bucks I would go that route vs G2 paint.

Mine are painted blue. I used the G2 paint kit. I don't have pictures but I'll try and take some in the next day or two.
