How tough is it to get the calipers off?

^ I think you just leave the calipers on and mask the rotors with tape.

You think? Man I would't want to be spraying red paint anywhere in a 50 mile vicinity of my car, masking or not. I really think you need to remove the rotors.

Yeah, I'd like to take a look. Thanks. BTW, I don't know if it is the camera or my screen. The caliper color looks like it has an orange tinge rather than a true red. Dunno.
