I'd love to know as well what the prep work is and what needs to be covered before painting. Would like to do something with my Jeep calipers.

Hey jr, painted a bunch of calipers. You don't need hi temp paint like commonly told. The calipers would melt the rubber grommets out of them if they ever got hotter than what normal paint can handle. I normaly give the calipers to a local body shop and they spray them and prep them just like painting a car part. Just get them real clean first. Don't powder coat them, did that once and its way to thick. Hope it helps.
