Installed new rear pads and rotors...and painted the calipers...
Prepping for Wilwood front BBK (red) coming w/in the next week or so...wanted the OEM rears to somewhat match the front.

It's really easy!>>
Buy caliper paint.
Take em off.
Clean em really, really good (Degreaser!).
Tape the piston end, slide points and connections.
Paint em.
Put em back on.

I got the G2 kit from Eastman. You can also get it from Tirerack...
The G2 is a brush on kit. I went this route rather than using spray cans. I did not mask off anything, I was just careful. Only caveats with this kit, are 1) apply between 55 and 70 degrees--dries too quickly otherwise--I actually applied early a.m. in S.C. when it was 75 and 2) Paint hardens in little can in about 4 hours, so you have to plan accordingly.
