painted calipers

Hey mate, nice SS, have one myself, did you do the calipers yourself or did you have it done. If so how did you do it?

Thanks mate, i did the brakes myself. Wasn't too hard..... but the disc pads are a bastage to get back into the metal clips. Once i sorted that, it was all sweet.
I took some pics,

Before:

I took the caliper off and removed the pads and sat it back over the disc to paint it;

Back on again;

The front were a bit different because of the size of the calipers..... i sat them on top of the front disc to paint them, and the result you have seen......
