Brake Caliper Painting/Caliper Decal's??

[BigMan]

so you just use something like cardboard to stop spraying things by accident, but spray the calipers in position..... (or r u painting with brush?)

is that difficult and can you get a good covering of paint on there

Use a brush mate, you have far more control over where the paint goes then. I have done a couple of cars over the years with the calipers in position, and it has done no harm to them. I will use 2 brushes, a small detailing type paint brush for the small niggly bits, and then a normal size brush for the main parts of the caliper's.
