well i just painted my calipers. i had nothing but towels and cardboard to coverup and spray. therefore spraying the whole caliper area and the brakepad. i hear you aren't suppose to do this... would this be okay though? what is the worst i could expect from painting the brake pads as well besides fading.. thanks.
You can't hurt the pads any more than when you brake alot :D. Don't worry, the paint will come off eventually and the pads are replacable lol. I did the same to my brake pads. Just make sure you let the paint cure a good amount of time before you go heating it up on the street. I'd recomend a day at least. I gave mine a weekend with all the paint I put on mine.
Also BTW did you apply a clear coat? I'd recomend it for ease of cleaning. Just a little tip...
And any pics?

no clearcoat. i'll post pics up later on.
that looks very nice!
what did you use to clean them before you painted?
Break or caliper cleaner.Quote:
