Default Finished up my front calipers... Here are some pictures
Should be putting them back together tonight. For those that have bled the brakes before in this car, do i need a pressure vac or can i do it the old fashion way?

Enjoy

Default I might do a DIY to take everything apart, its not too bad... As for painting though...
My calipers are powder coated. You can use any hand paint technique ,however, with the calipers free of the car.
