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

You would be better buying caliper decals from ebay. I had Celica ones on mine:
