I really want to do this but I have no shop or lift. I do not know anyone with this and do not know of a place in the city that does this. How else can you do this? I assume you have to get all 4 wheels off and leave them painted and dry for awhile. Any tips to do it ?

a quick search will get you a few threads with info and pics...pretty simple tho...
Pick some caliper paint from your local auto shop>remove tire, jack up the car>sand down the calipers with metal brush to clear debri and rust>newspaper to cover all others aside from the caliper (like the rotors)> spray and move on....

how do you guys keep the calipers clean, mine get dirty from the brake dust, and is very difficult to reach through my 166's.
pm nerweezy or trinity autosport for the best price....
