hes using G2 paint so should be overspray but might have gotten excess paint somewhere. Its good to remove calipers or mask off stuff if you can. Calipers are pretty easy to remove on this car. Couple bolts for the front, one for the rears

g2 kit is a 2 part epoxy, as in it dosent come in spray form.... he probably put to much in one area and it dripped on a part thats not supposed to have paint on it. should wear off. if not take ur caliper off and inspect it, it will probably be obvious whats causing the issue once you look at the pads/inside caliper.
