In addition to painting the side of the caliber facing outward, did you paint the other sides of the caliber as well (such as the inner side touching the brake pades and the back side (facing the engine)? If so, how to get to those sides without swinging the caliber away from the rotor?
Thanks!
Thanks!

For the fronts, there will be a plastic wrapped, brake sensor wire attached to the front drivers side. you will see it attached to the pad on that side. For the rear, it will be on the passengers side likewise.
Attached is a diagram. the sensor is #13
