I've been looking around the internet for guides to painting calipers, and they seem to vary a lot and none of them are for celicas specifically. I was wondering if anyone on here who has done it has any method(s) that they feel works well. Thanks!
P.S I dont have a whole lot of experience so far with cars so a simple method would be appreciated

I've got a really cheap and retarded quick method I have used for years that comes out really nice and somewhat dust repellant - been meaning to do a how-to on it forever. I even have the pics for the how-to ready to go. I'll get around to it soon.
Here's the jist of it tho - just tape off anything you don't want painted:  Duplicolor Caliper Spray works Great and if you use the same clear in several coats over it it becomes somewhat dust repellant like I said. --------------------  ENGINE: '93 RC 3S-GTE/WRC CT-20b [18-20PSI] PERF: TRD/HKS/ARP/NGK/MSD/ACT/Blitz/STRI/APEX'i/TwosRus/GReddy/Magnaflo/KOYO SUSP: Tein/Bilstein/SusTech/ INT: SS-III SEATS/Toyota Hyper Sports EXT: WRC/TRD/404 QUOTE (lagos @ Aug 25, 2010 - 10:13 AM)  Its a safety feature so that people like you don't end up killing themselves or everyone around them.
