When Painting the break Calipers, do you paint both sides?
 
Do you paint the other side as well, which is invisible when the wheel is on?

...or do you simply paint half caliper, the side visible from the rim?

Yeah you should paint the entire thing, just take it off and paint it.

Ahhh I see you are not from an english speaking country - sorry for pulling you up on that .

OH BTW it's Brake pedal not break pedal :)

A break pedal would be cool. Added security. Car would break down if you hit it.

^ the rx8 has that feature built in every time you shift.

i'd take the entire caliper off and paint it.

Petal's were an option on VW vans in the sixties, usually with a sweet aroma exiting the windows.
