I didn't have to take the calipers off, the duplicolor kit had a brush which gives pretty good control over where the paint goes. I also rattle canned the clips black to give it some contrast with the red caliper paint. I'm in the Tacoma area and travel back and forth from Moses Lake area. It was a fun weekend project.

Your car is very nice looking. Would look sicker in my opinion with darker window tint.

They came almost all black, but they had a silver trim on the inner rim. I masked the black areas with masking tape then sprayed them with a similar black finish enamel. Sorry about the crappy photos but my camera phone is the only camera I have right now, LOL.
