I figured out which type of paint to use and which type of clear coat. I also found lots of instructions to assist a very amateur painter.

The only question left is how much paint do I need to buy?

Hi, i still have half a paint can left over. There is lots for 4 Calipers. I pretty much did 2 coat jobs.Had car on Jackstands for 2 weeks. First coat let it dry after five days then wet sand with 800grid to get paint even ,then 1500grit to smooth out just bye eyeing it, getting the paint to look even all around.Then repainted it again. Was a pain painting these with this paint. After 48 hours,lightly wet sand with 1500 area's that needed it, put decal on, then sprayed the clear light coats. Was like oh man ,the paint started to bubble get soft. Didnt touch,after hour the bubbles went away and made the paint look even smoother.? oh well. Gave it that oven baked look. That paint brush in kit is just garbage.brushes came off painting.
