Now that you've done it with the calipers on the car, if you had to do it over, would you take the calipers off and have them laid out somewhere? For me I think I would like the pieces laid out on a surface, but I don't know how much of a nuisance taking the calipers out or apart and putting back together would be. Mine are grungy and need some attention, so I am sincerely interested. I also am curious if the DIY paint has durability v. powder coat.

To be honest, if I had the $ & time to take off all of the calipers and have them powder coated I would have. As far as durability goes, I've heard of the paint from kits lasting 5+ years ... so I went that route for now.

When the car isn't my d.d. I will definitely have them powder coated, though. I am sure the results are even better.
