If you are just getting an alignment for a standard drop, it's not an issue. There are ways to do caliper painting right and wrong, easy and not so easy. 10 people will tell you to do it 10 different ways.

My way is to pull off the brake pads and re-mount the caliper then just slip a plastic shopping bag over the disk rotor which will go easily in between the caliper with the pads out. Then just some masking tape over the piston area and the brake line and you can spray pretty much the whole caliper. I'd use duplicolor brake caliper paint. In the old day we used engine block enamel with no issues. Followed by a sticker du jour and then clear engine enamel paint over the whole thing. I'd also use CRC brakleen before all ths masking and spraying.

Have fun

^ Can I pay you to do mine Glen? I'd trust you to do it right over a shop any day.

n00b question: do I have to get another alignment if I change my coilover drop setting down the road? I'm planning to do 1 finger gap all around the first time in hopes that it will be a nice drop (on 19's) yet avoid scraping, but will probably want to go lower like everyone else.

I would also recommend Kin, Jack, & Ron from Motorsport Techniques. They know their wheel alignment whether lowered or not.

Sonic MS is a reputable shop as well. Great guys Darwin, Jastien & Barrett.
