Okay. So I did the rear calipers today. My back is killing me, worse pain than ever (I am only 16, I have terrible back problems :'( ). I will probably tackle the fronts tomorrow. I did the rears first because I figure they are smaller than the front ones so if I mess up it will be less noticeable. I spent about as much time taping as painting... I am very pleased with the result, not many issues with paint going where it wasn't supposed to. I painted with a brush, I bought duplicolor brake caliper paint, and sprayed it in a tin and painted with a horse hair brush that was very small. I posted a whole new album and took pictures throughout the whole project. Here's a link:
