Yes just use a bunch of 7x11 paper and plenty of blue painting tape. Remember also the caliper is easy to take off and rest upside down on the rotor (paper protected) to get the hard to reach places...let dry then put back on and finish the rest. Removing rotors is not a most...though I'm sure it helps!

If you are flushing your brakes you could actually remove the calipers, I did that with my son's bmw.

My advice is use VHT and not Dupli-Color. The VHT I had access to at the Automotive stores dries faster and is a really good color match. After you put the decal on (yes decal) put a coat of clear engine paint on, really makes the shine pop! You can do many thins layers in less then an hour, you'll know you have enough coats when it starts to shine.

Oh and Appleguy, they look great! I'm curious how you like the H&R springs, please let us know. Also pics of height of car with the new springs.
