Prep gently with very fine steel wool. Wash and dry throughly. Apply a very light coat of hi-temp gray primer. No need to remove the calipers. Little known fact: The factory only paints the outer half of the caliper, no real need to paint the back side of the caliper. Mask with care, don't forget to mask the bleed screws, and the spray away!

Total cost about $35.00. Many positive comments.
